yea ive had my bp 4 about 3 months also and for the past 3 times ive taken him out no problems put him in a box and he'd start 2 come out and he'd snap at me about a copple of times so id take the mouce out and throw em in the tank and a few times i had to guide my arm towards where the mouce was for him 2 get a sence of the mouce. maby because he's hungry and im a bigger heat source he cant realy tell the different. idk im a lil nervouse about being bitter cuz my bp is huge 2 me he's about 3 1/2 -4 ft long and is pretty stronge idk about his bite
