Since snakes can be head shy. Don't come at them straight on. Gently and quickly pick them up from the midsection, supporting their wt and bring them close to your body so they feel a little more secure. I know it can be sorta nervous feeling but you'll get used to it and you'll learn signs. One big sign to look for is the S in the neck, head held up. This is the leave me alone pose.
