Taming an Aggressive BP? (TL;DR)

[Bogertophis]

I haven't tried hook training. A couple of friends have suggested it to me as well as using thick gloves that could protect me from a bite. I'm seriously considering getting a hook or finding something hook-like that wouldn't hurt her but could hold her weight.
Thank you for suggesting it.

Hook training is NOT about "holding her weight"...you aren't picking the snake up with the hook, but using it (or any similar blunt stick or tongs*) to touch and signal
the snake that it's time to be handled, and NOT incoming food. (Most) Snakes don't use vision very well to identify things: they use their sense of smell AND
their good sense of touch, to recognize friend & foe.

*You can also use a spray bottle of water to change a snake's thinking (about biting whatever's heading their way) and some ppl even hold up a roll of paper
towels...or, a piece of cloth (clothing you've worn especially) on the end of a stick to show your scent to the snake is a good way too. Basically you have to
"speak snake" a little more clearly...sound & vision don't work for them. Touch & scent is what you need to use.
