You would have to know Mike and his love of horses.

Op, I would agree you probably should have made sure you were comfortable with the pet you are commiting too. But now that you have it, it will be a matter of you learning and getting comfortable with it. I think once you get bit, you won't be as fearful of it. It's more of a startle than anything. You will learn to read your snake and you need to handle him confidently. I would not use a glove. I could see that spooking the snake.
