Childrens python and snapping

[Krissie87]

Hi all
I have a children's python 6mths old any suggestions on what to do if they bite? Mine bit me top of my hand so I out hwr back in the cage. But I am wondering if I should have done that or kept holding her?
I have a 9 and 6yr old so I eventually want to get them to be comfortable holding her. I am now nervous as I have been bitten a couple of times. Any advice would be great she has a great personality just gets "moody" hormonal" at times.

step 1 wash and sensitise your hands step 2 ware food grade gloves step 3 use feeding tweezers never hand feed because snakes will mistake your hand as food if that smell ie sense the smell of mice on your hand
