You might lose the trust of your pet bp if you keep trying to hold it's head.

All snakes get pretty uncomfortable when you touch their head, restraining it makes them freak out.

I got a bp from pet smart and I had a mite problem with him right away. So for a long time, when I handled him, I had to kind of man handle him to clean him with mite stuff and clean his cage and stuff. He is still pretty jumpy with me a year later and I'm still trying to slowly earn his trust back. At least he is mite free .

Just don't do that to your bp, he might associate you with fear and danger and that's not good.
