I can do that with my Spotted Python. But with this little guy, he gets really attracted to my hand. I actually don't know why I am nervous I think it's that idea of getting bit and them not letting go. I get psyched out I guess. I got struck by a baby rat snake and didn't think twice about it, but he just gave me a defense bite. I'm sure he does. I try not to think about it when I hold him, but it is just that initial thought. I think I might be over thinking it. Because after the first time I held him and got bit, I was totally fine holding him again. No nervousness or anything and we were fine for a few weeks of me handling him. I don't get what changed between the first time and the second time.

Thank you so much John1982. I was wondering since every time I looked up what I could on Woma Pythons, which there wasn't a lot to go on, the only things I could get from it were they had a strong feeding response and were relatively docile. That would make sense since in the wild, they have to grow fast if they want to survive. He must be still young enough for that to be the situation. Thank you. I am trying to figure out what I can do to get over it. Probably handling him a lot more when it comes between feeding will help. I definitely want to make him a good handler like my spotted python. It's just working through it.

Thank you Prognathodon. I have been using hand sanitizer each time I hold him. Just don't get why he bit me that second time. Just put his nose against my wrists and then opened his mouth. But he tried a third time when I was pulling him. Thank you for the help.
