Need Help With BP!!!

If your in the army and you can handle being shot at, then a little snake bite is nothing. Bites from ball pythons are near painless...

What you need to do is man up and start holding him on a daily basis. Depending on his size, this method works great - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7DQssbM0uk

Just get in there, show no fear of being bit and start handling him. After the first couple minutes he will calm down and start slow. If you show fear he will feed on that...

Being shot at has nothing to do with fear of snake bites. Also, not everyone in the military is shot at. It's called an involuntary reflex arc and it's natural to withdraw your hand. Sometimes you can't do anything about it. Point is persistency. I also agree the snake is probably very hungry and his feeding response is fully engaged constantly. If he will take it, offer food every 4-5 days for a month and see if this doesn't calm him down. Hungry snakes are always a bear to deal with.
