Just some reasurance pls

I know the answer just need to hear it from someone.
My baby BP will grow out of being a scaredie cat once he gets some size right? Of course with daily and proper handling and correct husbandry

I don't think it has to do with size necessarily, but handling and him being able to trust you. I think you should give small doses of handling, and just do a little more each time until he's comfortable. Keeping him out for a long time when he's not ready could stress him out further, but with proper handling and husbandry I think he could easily become a lovebug in due time.

Most babies are like that, but with regular handling, they get tolerant of you, no worries

[snakesRkewl]

Some babies are feisty and others never are.
House it properly, feed it well and handle it in short intervals, it should calm down for you in time.

Well thanks kinda knew that just making sure thanks guys

The big thing to remember is this needs to be on his terms and not yours.

Make sure he has the best home you can provide, make sure he gets plenty of good food, limit handling to short sessions at first, no more than about 10 minutes every day or so, except after feeding. Gradually step up the handling over the course of a couple months, always being aware that most balls are head shy, and trying to avoid sudden movements or grabbing near his head.

Expect him to be cranky when he's in shed, and a little overeager as feeding day gets near. Resign yourself to getting bitten, that way if it happens you can easily shrug it off. Avoid fingers in the face when he's hungry and that will help.

Sometimes providing a safe place to be near you will help a particularly reluctant snake adjust. I often take mine into my bedroom, shut the door to avoid curious cats, and lay across the bed and let them wander near me.
