I use gloves on certain snakes. I do not have "snake gloves", I have a pair of thick rubber gloves that is used for heat. They are too thick for the snake to bite through. My wife and partner calls me a sissy. I am 6'4" 325lbs (Fat Boy) and use gloves to handle a ball python. I have a couple that will bite you everytime you handle them. Once they bite the gloves and realize they didn't hurt me they are fine. If I handled them without the gloves I really believe they would continuously bite me the whole time I was holding them.
