The gloves would not give a warm target. But if makes you more comfortable try handling with gloves for a couple of days. Just be careful. You will not have the tactile sensations of bare skin and you might squeeze too tightly.

Re: snake tried to bite me

Sounds like you may need to increase the amount that you are feeding!
How big is she? If the snake is perpetually hungry that could be a reason for the aggressive behavior.

Re: snake tried to bite me

she is about 4 feet but she isnt to thick. the bump is just a little bigger than her thickest point. i think I should get bigger food next time I go out.

Re: snake tried to bite me

Sounds like its time for an upgrade! There should be a very noticable lump after feeding.
My adults eat rat pups which are about the size of an extra large mouse.

Re: snake tried to bite me

Approx 4 ft. You weant to feed somethihng about thesize or just a bit larger than the snake's body at the widest point. And rats have more meat to them than mice do.
Moving up to rat pups would be fine.
Or maybe even small rats if you can't find rat pups.
I order mine frozen online.
But I have a lot more mouths to feed so the shipping isn't as bad.
