Raz just a quick comment on BP's on feeding day. Some of mine can be very aggressive on feeding day too so it's not just the type of snake but sometimes it's just that particular snake. We actually don't handle any snake in the house, from the little milksnake right up to the big boa on that snake's feeding day.
Malachi my young male bp is a ripper LOL. He is literally in full strike position from the moment he exits his hide on Thursday till he gets his meal, either on the substrate or up on one of his hides just primed to go! If I'm not fast enough when changing his water on feeding day he'll quite happily go for me multiple times. I don't mind it at all....aggressive attitudes on feeding day are a great thing in my mind! LOL
