7 year old male Centralian Bredli Python

[Ben.shepherd]

For immediate rehome.
Would recommend an experienced handler.

In the past couple of months I have been bitten by my 7 year old Python 3 times. Prior to this he has lived in his enclosure and roamed around the house a few times a week.

The first bite I got was when I startled him in his enclosure by opening the door when he was asleep to give him new water. He grabbed my hand for about 5 minutes until I got him to release by running warm/hot water over his head. Since then he was fed, left alone for a week then let out to roam around. But the past 3 times I've gone near him he's snapped up and bitten me again.
I've owned this snake since a few months old and he seems to be a normal healthy condition. I thought of getting gloves to pick him up but haven't really got much of an idea about it. I just don't know what to do with him since he's started snapping at me and I'd hate for him to snap at a child in my house!

I want someome to take this snake asap because for the past week he's been inside a cardboard box.

I'd recommended him to someome who already has a large enclosure with the right conditions including a heat source and to let him stay in there for a week or 2 undisturbed before feeding and handling him.

Pick up location is near Dean Park (Blacktown area), NSW 2761.

THERE ARE 9x BIG FROZEN RATS WHICH I WILL GIVE TO WHOEVER ADOPTS HIM

Regards,

Ben

If U can get him to the border or to me I'm in Brisbane I will take care of him I am used to problem snakes and animals in general. I'm happy to give him the love he needs even if I get bitten lol I'm used to it... I have a spare snake set up here already just waiting for the right snake or lizard to put in it
