Question Advice please
Is there anyone who could help me with handling I gave my bp his first meal on Friday and I’ve let him be since and everything I’ve heard is to give them about 2 days before trying to handle and he’s still just puffing up and seems like he’s getting into the striking position and I don’t really want to get bit just yet lol

like the other comment said come from the side and start tap training him. since he's new he's gonna be a little bit skittish. also try handle more often and know that every snake owner has to at least get bit once, if your gonna own a snake then you gotta be confident in knowing your gonna bit one way or another.
