I just got an adult savu python that is very much the same - she doesn't bite, but will climb, flail about, and corkscrew trying to escape, and when she reallly gets wound up she will attempt to fling herself off of whoever is holding her.
Yeah the prior owner I don't know much about except that he claimed to have gotten her tested to prove she's het albino... don't think that's possible outside of breeding which she never has from what I hear.

Thank you all for the replies, it really eases my mind. She's such an amazing snake and I would have been so sad if she had developed something like that do to neglect before I got her.
