Impressive swelling-I've never had a snake bite do that. That was a very rude little python- I've seen a rosy boa that would do that too- wasn't mine either, it belonged to a nature museum & just didn't want to bother to differentiate between handlers & prey. My Spotted python is not a biter at all, but I've read that some in that family can be, & let's face it, no one selectively breeds snakes for "temperament" or IQ (maybe they should?), so I'd imagine that's the result of all the captive breeding with limited bloodlines- some are just kinda jerky.
