Snappy BP's...help!

[Bogertophis]

I've never known a feisty Royal just aggressive feeders !?!?....

I've never personally had one like that, but I read about one a rescue had...young adult male that they said could ONLY be adopted by a very experienced owner due
to its persistent aggression, & they had an extensive application process w/ no shipping, only in person adoptions, etc. Don't know if it ever got adopted successfully.

It makes sense to me though: most snakes are bred only for appearance, not temperament, and with all the inbreeding for fancy morphs, I'm actually surprised
there aren't more of these around, though sadly they might be getting sold off as "feeders"? Pet stores are a very likely place for some to end up, as pet stores
don't pay a lot & buy "in bulk".

You have your work really cut out for you this time, Sunnieskys...

I like zina10's suggestion to "cup" them....lets them feel safe, like back in the egg... I wonder if they'd improve if you kept them close for longer periods of time?
-Like in a zipped pocket, or a small snake bag inside your shirt for both warmth & to get used to "human scent"...you probably can't do that at work, but I'd try
that at home, personally, with snakes like these. The BCI that I took in years back was like this...she was a yearling that had changed hands multiple times before
being given to me. She scared off all previous owners, persistent biting/striking...pretty "hiss-terical" snake, but I knew she was just scared. Also read that Mexican
BCI's tended to be feisty like this (& that's what she appeared to be), but all it really took was some patience: I'd keep her on my lap for 30 minutes or more, in &
under a small towel, not letting her see out, while she got over the feeling of being held, gently touched, & got used to my scent. After about a month or so, I slowly
let her see out...she was nervous but never bit me...not even once in all the years I had her. She became a wonderful trust-worthy pet, face-to-face tame with me.
