IF & only IF it's not a food response you've been getting, I would try cuddling him on my lap after dropping a small towel over him & wrapping him up in it, for at least
30-60 minutes at a time while you watch tv or read, so he gets to know your scent and touch, and can learn to associate that with being warm & safe. I once took in a
very scared yearling BCI that had changed hands many times in her first year, each time getting more scared & "aggressive" (actually defensive!) and she sure wanted
& tried her best to bite me too...at first. But after only about 2 months (being cuddled as described for a couple times a week) she was allowed to peek out from under
the towel to see this "big monster" that was holding her, and she never did try to bite me after that, not in all the years she was mine. She became face-tame-reliable
too, and loved being cuddled...the only battle I had with her was getting her back in her enclosure sometimes, lol. Good luck with this BP...I can remember years ago
seeing a rescue (in Virginia, I think) that had a similar snake (a BP also) that they needed an experienced keeper for because of the relentless biting...wish I'd heard the
rest of the story though.
