Dang that Bredli is awesome!!!
Are the gloves a precaution with the Bredli or were you just already wearing them?

The others look great as well!!! I love seeing kiddos and animals, but especially love when the animals are snakes!!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks, Craig. I was already wearing the gloves outside when the kids asked to take the snakes out so I decided to grab Alpha as well.

That being said, I've worn them in the past with him because he moves faster than the BPs and I turn into a nervous handler. The gloves help me not worry but I'm trying to get over that. Its just in my head, he has never acted aggressively. He is a better snake than I am a snake keeper.

Hahahaha, gotcha!!!
As you know, Bredl's are very high up on my list for my next addition. So, the gloves piqued my curiosity.
If it helps you, roll with it, my man!!


Now this is a question out of my own curiosity and I have zero experience here, so I'm looking for other keepers experience...
Would the gloves be more likely to pull the snake's teeth out if it did strike and actually get a bite in?

Maybe I'm a little nuts, maybe I'm just used to pain (I've put my body through Hell between hockey, construction, cooking, and lots of stupidity), but I feel like I'd be more inclined to just take the bite on my bare skin in order to protect the snake's teeth.
I burn and cut myself at work often enough that it barely phases me any more and being tagged hurts less than a burn or cut from a $200 knife. So, being tagged doesn't scare me at all. That being said, I always take caution, but for the snake's benefit more than mine...
So, am I way off on this????

Yes, I know you will be very happy with a Bredl’s python or any other Carpet.

The gloves I have are primarily leather so I don’t think it would be much of a problem for the snake. But, again, he’s never tried to strike at me so it’s about time to ditch them for good.

Honestly,, I’m not worried about the pain, just perhaps the shock of a strike and I don’t want to jerk away and drop him.

I don’t wear the gloves while I’m spot cleaning his enclosure and that is where I would most likely catch a tag. Perhaps others here have experience with bites on gloves or clothing.
