OK, the BP I have is about two feet long, very fat little guy, and eats great. The problem is he is still terrified of me and any other people. It's worst when removing him from the cage; he'll either ball up and refuse to relax for a half hour or more, or start hissing (!) and trying to bite. Granted, when i got him, he was given to me for free because two people had returned him to the store because he bit them. He was obviously traumatised, but after two months, I thought he would relax and he isn't. is there any hope??
