when I got my male bredli that hatched same time last year it was cranky, in the first week he'd fed so I wanted to start handling, when id reach into the click clack he would look angry and strike if I got closer, I grabbed the click clack and tipped him slowly onto my hand he started coiling around my fingers and didn't mind it. I thought he even acted relaxed and inquisitive tongue flicking etc, I,d do this most days for months and it got to point he liked me too much id have to uncoil and push him off of my hand to go back in the click clack . Once he went into a enclosure it was a similar thing, come up from underneath and slowly put pressure on the belly somewhere on the front quarter of the snake to encourage him off the usual branch and he would usually hop on and come out into the sun or watnot. But you have to be able to read theyr mood like when they really don't want to be bothered or just fed etc and if you respect that it keeps handling to be a positive memory and makes handling easy. since then iv passed the snake onto a neighbour that hasn't continued with this, the snake always strikes at your hand pretty much a pain to handle. This neighbour would put a riggers glove on to pull him out whenever a friend came over for show and tell . and Even if snakes are simple instinct driven as allot of people on here believe, they will only do things willingly what works for them in they'r lives. So teach them your the Guy that gives food , water , warmth , the chance to go out in the sun for a bask, do that consistently and you,l have a pretty good chance anyway. Im not a expert it was only my second snake just thought some part of the story might be helpful or interesting
