Ditto!
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.
