You have to kind of adjust the pressure along with the snake. They tighten up to escape and wriggle, then relax and so forth. So you have to adjust alongside with the snake, and nothing takes the place of feeling it through your own hands. Esp. with such a small and fragile animal.

I think its cool to try to think of ways to make it easier, though. Kudos for that ! That is how things get invented. Although your snake looks more like a legless crocodile..hehe.
I am assuming you are talking about my retic? She might behave like one once full grown. LOL. Thank you for the information about treating one. I have never had the experience or the necessity to do any kind of medical care for a snake outside of dealing with my girlfriends RTB and that was mites. UGH.... happy she is treated now and was in the other room in quarantine still. I am an engineer by nature, biologist at heart, and love all my animals.
