Horrible way to handle. Opinions?

[Rob]

I have two inputs. One, if your trying to influence positive opinion into the hobby or increase interest in wildlife, maybe not use a possibly aggressive snake that could scare your audience. Two, i have yet to see Brian manhandle a snake. I could be wrong but usually he directs the snakes attention away from his hand that he picks the snake up with then handles it carefully or handles longer snakes from the tail all the while showing that even dangerous snakes can be handle safely and be a lot of fun.

Agreed, even when he takes the infamous Satin out he doesn't grab his head. That's a truly agressive snake, and still doesn't need to be handled the way this calm tiger was.
