I'm so enamored with my guy. He is so mellow and just frigging awesome. I have wanted a BP for, well decades, honestly. I didn't have the luxury of research before I got him though. It just sort of happened (He was a stray). I admit, I do not handle him (or my corn snake) as much as I should. Today, the BP, Sterling, let me know I have [screwed] up by striking at me. Today was feeding day. I try to stick to a schedule as much as possible, but with MY work schedule, it's bound to get screwy. I KNOW I should handle BOTH of them beyond feeding day, But what do you DO? Does one like sit on the couch, watch TV whilst holding their BP? How many days after a feed should I wait? Is there a window PRIOR to a feed? I'm torn between not wanting to stress him and not wanting him to associate me only with food!
