    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.
