How to handle an aggressive snake

[WingedWolfPsion]

For the timid, just use a hook or other tool to gently push their head down, so that their chin rests on the cage floor--they'll most likely draw back defensively, and you can then pick them up safely. For some reason, having their head moved out of that raised strike position seems to send their mind back out of strike mode, and they calm a bit.

I was told that with aggressive snakes you should take them for a car ride.

If I ever have an aggressive snake, I will most deff. try this technique. one thing is for sure though, you do not like to get bit

I thought that was just for little snakes that just wouldn't go to bed.

when i was a kid id do this all the time catching snakes outside, babies seemed to be the only ones to actually try to bite my hand over their head.

I dont use my hand but a small hide(as a shield, lol) If they strike its at the hide as I pick them up from behind. Good times
