Help!! My snake keeps biting

I have a 14mth old female spotted Python which I have had now for about 9months. I've always tried to handle her as much as a i can (as I work full time this is only in the evenings). for the first 3-6 months she was great, only biting me occasionally when she was hungry. However as she's getting older she's getting more aggressive and it's now to the point where I can't handle her without gloves on as 9 out of 10 times she bites hard and death rolls my hand and fingers (as though she thinks I am her food). i feed her regularly, every 7-10 days in a different tank to where she lives, and even sometime feed her 2 or three rats in a feeding (about the size of my thumb). She is very healthy and a good size for her age. I'm reluctant to get rid of her, but am unsure what to do about this behaviour. I dont' want her to grow to full size and still be biting as that will make it almost impossible for her to be handled. Has anyone got any advise or tips?
