When was the last time he ate? If it was over a week ago, start offering more often to see if that changes his behavior. My red tail will eat every 3 days if I let him. and both of my snakes get bitchy when they are all of a sudden hungry and i'm not feeding quickly enough. Try that, and see if that works. Also, are you feeding in the tank or in a seperate place? If feeding in the tank, stop immediately!! Feed in a bin or somewhere else. This will help the snake to calm down in the tank. Then he won't think that everything coming into his tank is food.

python owners have been known to take care of there pets ? where did you get that info ? do you know every python owner in the world ? thats like saying all dog owners dont take care of there pets. i know alot of python owners that take good care of there pets..
handle the snake and it should calm down most of the time they do. if you just feed it and water it its going to be a big snake that doesnt like being handled im sure ya dont want that. not fun having a 13 foot snake come at ya. work with it im sure he will be fine with time

These animals like to be fed a certain amount of food and have a daily routine. Find out if there is anything wrong, The food you are offering is not to his liking, or not enough.
Research on other activities that make them happy.
Python owners have been known to not take very good care of their pets and reptiles need a certain amount of sustenance.

If he's biting that bad maybe he just don't like people. Avoid contact with him, just feed and water for a while and see if the seclusion and lack of attention will calm him down.

Is he used to being fed live food? if this is the case, snakes tend to strike their owner because they see anything as moving as food. perhaps changing his diet and handling him whilst wearing a glove will help. He will learn that biting is getting him no-where and give in. Good luck!
