You're welcome, Slim.
As for me, I keep gloves in the top drawer of my supplies desk. I use them when I consider it prudent to do so regardless of the species or size of the snake I'm dealing with. I've been bit and it's no biggie with the snakes I own but on occasion the gloves serve a good purpose and get the job done more efficiently for me than a bare hand approach.
Considering the strike range I've seen with our boas here, Jeff, I'd be respecting that "pose" of hers LOL
