Tips:
* Handle regularly as long as he/she is feeding well.
* You may touch the top part of the snake from about the shoulder area down, get them used to this... maybe even a slight stretch. Most of my snakes love to be stretched so much they will wrap their neck on one wrist & tail on the other for a stretch.
* Approach the head from UNDERNEATH and lightly rub the chin. I find more BPs like their chins rubbed, but work towards this- get them used to handling first & work up to chin rubs.
I have some that will willingly place their head in my hand for a rub- only a very few will tolerate me touching the tops of their heads. Respect their comfort zones & they will be more trusting of you.
