So i've had my BP for a year and 7 months now and in that time I have never been bitten or struck at.

Well tempered overall I would say, only one problem. Head-shy!
It's not really a 'problem' perse since I know most younger BP's are head-shy, but is there any way to help lessen it?

I don't know if anyone elses snake does this, but if I even make an advance with my hand anywhere near the snakes head, the snake freaks out and pulls back into a ball. I'm not lunging at the snake either, i'm making sure to go in nice and slow.

I'd really like some tips, if anyone has any, on how to try and get the snake to become less head shy and more accepting of me without causing the snake stress that'd be awesome.

I handle the snake almost every day and I can see the snake watching me from its enclosure quite a bit. Feeding response is superb, never gone more than 2 weeks without eating and only during sheds. Enclosure temps and humidity are perfect always. Snake actually sometimes prefers to be out of the hides and curled up between some small branches I have in there so he can see what's going on. 100% sure he watches what I am doing most of the time!

After holding for about 5 minutes or so, the snake will start exploring and slithering all over the place and sometimes rest on my chair with me. I was told it comes with time and how frequently you handle them by some people. Just wondering if there's anything else I might not know of.

So! Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!
