    Very nice couchii

    I've heard from others that there is a trick to let them stop biting you. They wear these rubber medical gloves when they handle the snakes. The snake bites the glove and find it repulsive. After a while they didn't bite anymore. Maybe it can help you, I just heard it and have nver needed it myself.

    The biting doesn't bother me one bit. I have lots of kings that think I'm half mouse, so I'm fairly OK with being bitten. She will never bite as hard as a full grown, 5 1/2', hungry male Florida king with a bad attitude. Her bites really just aren't a concern...

    I've dealt with a LOT of feisty snakes over the last 20 years, and I always found thin leather gloves to work the best for the really bitey ones...like bicycle gloves or paintball gloves...protects the flesh from big bites, and the snakes don't seem to like it...
