Question
I have a 5' albino that is really aggressive i have had him about a month and i handle him at least every other day for 10-20 minutes but he bites me almost every time i get him out i know that handleing is the only way to calm him down but i am getting tired of being bit how else can i calm him down.

Answer
If you have trully put in that much work with no result I'd recommend putting him down...  About 1 out of 100 burms are like that, just aggressive by nature.  And as they get so big it's not a favorable trait.  I know that sucks, but you don't want a 10 foot snake coming after you every time you open the cage.  DO NOT turn the snake loose!!!  That causes way too many problems.  Simply turn it in to animal control and they will put it down for free.  I have 4 large ones right now all of which are docile and one small one which is a butthole!!!  He's got about a month to straighten up or he may siffer a similar fate!
