My own advice to new BP owners:
When you get your snake home take all your pictures, play with it, and in general do the things you'll want to do with it to get them out of your system. After you are done, introduce the reptile to it's enclosure and leave. Leave it alone. Forget it exists, and just ignore it. Enjoy your pictures and bide your time. Leave the snake alone for a week. Then, when you finally go to feed it, scent the room by having the prey item in it for about an hour before hand. Then introduce the prey to the snake.
Repeat until your snake has eaten 3 times, then try handling it.
