This would imply that some days you have him out more than once? It could be (and I'm just speculating here) that you're actually handling him too much. He could be stressing out because every time he starts to relax, he gets pulled out again. If you think about it...it takes several days just to digest a single meal completely. So while you or I might be able to sit down for an hour or two and feel totally relaxed and refreshed, it may take a snake like a BP a lot longer to feel that same kind of refreshment.

I recommend giving him about 48 hours in between handling sessions, and keep those to 20 minutes or less. If that doesn't help fix his nervousness, it will at least not hurt anything.
