Most baby BP's start to calm down with proper handling. But, then again, the most beautiful BP I ever owned was evil from the day it hatched. I called it the little ball of hate. That snake is in the hands of a local breeder now, and weighs in at about 2100 grams, and she calls him the Incubus...seems he never grew out of it. So, totally depends on the snake
I don't mind her feisty ways, i doubt she really will always be like that, she was perfect handling all day and then once i finally got her into her new tank she was fine until i had to move the hide to the other side so i decided i would pick her up and take a picture for everyone the second i put her down to grab the camera she booked it never seen a bp make it across a 30 foot room in under 3 seconds, i picked her up and after that moment she went berserk striking every which way possible but never at me just the light, the glass everything on her way back in
