You could always offer the food on sat, but don't be too surprised if your snake doesn't eat. I let my snake settle for a couple weeks before feeding her, though she was older about a year old, so wouldn't feed as often anyway.

As far as handling goes.. I would also say, don't worry about the head. The more you fuss with your snake's head/neck the more you're going to make him nervous. I also second the fact that a bite from a baby BP won't hurt. Most of the time, they just bluff anyway and don't even open their mouth. Besides that, it's rare to have a BP strike at you. Bluff or no.

When I take Shelby out, I lift her hide off of her, then pick her up mid body, while supporting her. She usually gets active real quickly and likes to explore. Just keep letting your snake crawl over your hands. Don't make sudden movements by his head, especially when he's learning to trust you. BPs are notoriously shy animals.

But most importantly, enjoy your snake!
