My BP breeder friend gave me this tip that may or may not work for you. He said that if you take your BP out and hold it until it is comfortable enough to settle in or even start looking around a bit, place it into your lap and put one of your palms over the BP's head and one below. He said not to hold the snake tightly, but don't allow it to draw away quickly. The key is to teach it that your hands are not threatening, even if they are taking away it's sight. He also said that holding the BP in this manner helps it to get used to your scent. I have done this with Anubis (my normal male), with pretty good results. When I got my female, Isis (another normal), I found out that she wasn't as head shy.Anyway, just a tip from a local breeder, hope it helps.
