Great words of advice Scott!
Just be patient and don't be scared of it!!! It's only the shock of the bite thats the worst part!! And trust me this is coming from someone who used to jump too! I was always petrified that they would bite and you know what I was scared until the day that my (tiny) baby spotted python bit me!!! Then I nearly laughed so hard at myself for being scared over something that DIDN'T hurt!! Let him bite you so you know that it's not going to hurt and YES the first time you will jump but it'll only be the shock of it!
We have 2 juvie jungles at the moment and they are soooo bitey but so far we've "taken it like men" and they are getting to know we aren't a threat!
Everyone can tell you on here what you should and shouldn't do but at the end of the day it comes down to you and YOU need to be confident and like Scott said "show it that it doesn't matter what they do and how many times it bites it's not going to intimidate you"!!! Otherwise you will end up with a snake that has you totally bluffed and it will only be a look don't touch snake and thats not why we own these grgeous little creatures!
Just be brave and once you get past the first few bites, you'll realise there's nothing to it!!!
Good Luck
