alot of bp's can be head shy. while holding him try to keep him exploring by maybe moving & turning you hand in different directions. keep your fingers spread apart & try to have him keep running through you fingers. when he does very slower close you fingers together some. not to catch or squeeze him but enough that the back of his head & neck keep coming in contact with you fingers. the same for when he starts slithering backwards through your fingers. close em up some so he gets use to his head coming in contact with parts of your hand & fingers. if you are real slow & steady with it he'll prob be fine with it & after awhile he'll get so use to it you shouldnt have a problem

well that's what works for me

good luck
