Some bp's are VERY chill.. my 7 month old Mojave female is extremely nice.. not head shy and NEVER turns down a meal.. and i believe it's in way the owner acts as well on how the snake reacts.. some BP's it doesn't matter.. they can be pissy and be VERY picky eaters and stress very easily.. sounds like you've got a nice little snake that just wants a good adventure and a full belly..
