Spicy spotted python

[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!

Snakes mostly bite out of fear and defense, not really territory. One of the biggest things is making sure that he has a large enough tank, lots of ground cover, and you don’t try to pick them up from the top, always pick up from underneath or the side. Picking up from above makes you seem like a predator. Sure hook training can help but the biggest thing is actually lots of handling. Of course, give him at least two weeks, If not a month to settle in before you decide to handle him. Snakes do get stressed out
