my carpet python is probably around a year and a half years old. he is very small still.. girth wise but reasonably long. i don't know if that is an appropriate length because i am only 15 and he is my first carpet. however i have been keeping snakes now for about 3-4 years.

im addicted. alright to my questions and concerns. i never handle him because he is VERY aggressive. even when i just walk by the cage he strikes at the side. and i can only spot clean because he bites me, i only do that when he is in his hide. i was wondering if there is anything i can do? i know now that jungle carpet pythons are nippy when they are young. however when i purchased him, he told me he was a good snake for a new snake keeper. i didn't realize that meant he was aggressive. (he has been like this since i have had him and i have had him for nearly a year now) thank you for any help.
