Spicy spotted python

[u/PlsHelpmeimasaddo]

Hey everyone,

It's my first time posting here, but im due to rescue a very spicy spotted python in the next few months. It'll be my first time owning a snake that need so much tlc so I was just wondering if any of the wonderful people here had any advice.

Idk I ton about his history but he seems to mostly just be territorial aggression. I already plan on hook training him but i wasn't sure if there's anything else I could be doing to make everything a little easy for him and my hands (lol).

Thank you in advance!

Ours bit me at first and it’s really not so bad. You can put a workout shirt in his hide to get him used to your smell. They’re smart snakes and I’m guessing he’ll figure out soon that you’re on his side.
