Jungle Carpet question

I know someone who wants to give me his 4 year old male jungle carpet python for free. He has no more interest in him because he is focusing mainly on BP's.

I'm interested in getting him but I have seen the current owner handle him and he is very persistent on not being held and trying to crawl away and I do believe that the owner has been struck by the snake in the past. I understand that might be the owners fault but I have heard mixed up stories about carpets.

Will this snake ever potentially calm down?

He says his male is 5'6'' long and he feeds him 1 med rat a month. He is also kept in a snake rack and I would be housing him in a aquarium. Not sure if any of this matters but I wanted to provide as much info as possible. He also says he does not handle him much.

All help is appreciated!
