I'm planning on working with it on a daily basis even if that means just holding it for two or three minutes. I do the same with my Woma python and I trust him more and more every day. Good point about not working with it for the first week, I'll give that a try.
First thing I would suggest if you do not have one already is a hook, hook training with large animal make it a lot better.
