If it's the litte fella in your avatar, let it bite. Try not handling it too much as it will stress it. You will find with time the snake will bite less and with a bit of luck will eventually stop. Make sure you don't pull away when it bites. The last thing you want to do is hurt your snakes mouth. Good luck.

Yeah it wont hurt you , little ones like that can be very defensive but normally grow out of it as they get bigger ....
My advice would be to leave it alone as much as possible till it grows a bit more .

Most young snakes will bite. The best way I have found to get them out of this is to feed them more. Has worked 99% of the time for me. And leave them alone. I still have a spotted who has never changed her tune about biting. Only time you are safe is if she is gravid..........her offspring are all placed tho.
