I agree that you pretty much just have to handle them, but instead of just taking a bite, put a pair of gloves on.Originally Posted by Reakt20
as far as him calming down, i say just take the bite and pick him up anyways.yup, i said it. lol eventually he'll realize you mean him no harm and he'll calm down. most of the time, once you get them into your hands and as long as you don't move quickly around their head, they'll calm right down.
I had a couple of BPs that were super defensive when I got them, my enchi male still hates, but I can at least handle them now.
Also fun fact, you are just as likely to get bit while holding a snake if it's defensive like that. 90% of the connecting bites I've received happened while I holding them. It's harder to dodge when they bite the hand that's holding them.
