LadyKat, sometimes it isn't something you do, it is just that snake.

I too have a spotted python like this. It doesn't matter how full he might be, how recently he was fed, how much or how little I handle him. I have even gone to the point of grinning and bearing it in the hope he will give up. Nope. He grabs, hard, rolls and constricts, everytime, without fail. He doesn't release and will happily constrict my arm until I give up and bodily remove him. As I manage to get a coil off, he is madly taking a harder hold elsewhere. When I finally get his mouth off, he snaps and stretches, constantly trying to get back to eat me.

He is now 6 and is simply an attractive animal to be viewed from the other side of the glass.

Incidently, I have only bred from him once and all of his offspring are the same, albeit not quite to the same extent. I no longer breed from him and won't do again in the future either.
