There are bitey ball pythons out there, and it may help with the handler's nerves to wear gloves, NOTHING wrong with that at all. Better a calm handler wearing gloves than a jumpy one who drops the snake if it strikes.
I'd recommend to anyone with a bitey snake and wanted gloves to just pick up a cheap pair of leather gloves from a local outdoors store. I got some for fishing, probably paid $15 for them. Nothing fancy, just something that looked and felt pretty tough.
