my bp just slithers around real casually but my boa is exactly like ur bp. If i take him out the tub he like trys to get away. Set him down and hes gone. Trys to like jump out ur hands so to say. Never stays still always constantly moving real fast.
Yes i know its a diff species but im in ur boat. I wish my guy would settle down a bit but hes just a baby as for your guy just try to give him time. Maybe let him get used to you a bit more
