I let all of the snakes I have gotten sit for a week. I don't mess with the cage at all except to change out water. After a week I offer a meal. After they eat, if they do, I let them set for 2 or 3 more days to digest, then I take them out to handle them.
One thing I have noticed is my ball will hide ALL the time, but in the middle of the night I will see him out quite often. Your bp is just doing what is normal, especially with a change in environment.
Also, if you can post pix! lol I love pics
BP are primarily nocturnal!
I actually try to do all my feeding after midnight, because that is when they are most active.
Once you start handling the snake..... learn the animal's body language.
Is it wrapping your hand and hanging out or is is whipping around like a nut or is it trying to crawl away?
I have snakes I use for my educational programs at the zoo that will chill out around mt neck all day.... and others that I rotate in and out of the presentations every 10 minutes or so when I notice they are getting uncomfortable with handling.
