How to tame a BP?

[Annarose15]

I'm curious how the more experienced owners 'tame' their BPs? If there are people who do animal shows with their snakes or let small children manhandle their BPs (not abuse, you know what I mean)... your input is most appreciated.

How often do you handle them as juveniles? For how long at a time? About once/twice a week for 30 minutes, unless they seem overly stressed before then. It's really just based on when I want to handle, not that they need any kind of socialization.

Do you slowly transition them to different areas of your house or outside or just fling them into the situation and make them cope with the stress so it won't be stressful next time? Bright sunlight outside seems to stress them (they are nocturnal, after all), so I tend to avoid that. Otherwise, it's just wherever I feel like handling - just watch the head when you walk through a doorway!

Do you let them explore rooms and spaces outside of your hands or mostly keep them on your persons? Letting them "explore" on their own is a good way to lose them, or end up with one stuck in/behind a piece of furniture where you don't want them, or have an accident with another pet.

Do you pass them off to as many people as possible to be handled? I am very careful about the circumstances when someone handles my BPs. If they are inexperienced, then they have to be sitting on the floor or couch, so the animal cannot get hurt if dropped. As far as "many people," I don't allow multiples in one session (2 or 3 tops).

How 'rough' are you with them? It is your responsibility to make sure NO ONE is rough with them. They aren't made of glass, but there are very few bites when handling that weren't deserved (IMO).

Basically I'm wondering if anyone has any tips about molding the temperament of a ball python to be totally safe for small children, loud people, or those who are scared of snakes to handle them (under supervision, ofc). The kind of snake you could pull out if its hide and plop on a newbie's lap and have no fear of it stressing to hell, being flighty and booking it, and/or biting them.
Define "small children"? I have let kids as young as 5 hold my BPs, but they are required to sit still on the floor, with supervision. Loud people can either learn manners around my snakes, or they don't get to be around them. Newbie's get the same rules as 5-year olds. In the end, the snake's safety and well-being are the owner's responsibility, and they are not show-and-tell toys to be trained like a puppy. Oh, and of course, it always comes down to the individual snake. I have some that wouldn't notice an earthquake, and some that simply stress out at being handled any more than necessary.
Thanks
