I mess with them from time to time. Didnt start doing it till i was 19. Really i dont see a difference in handling a non venomous and a venomous. Once youve handled them for a long time you get a strong sense of how there going to react. But then again every snake is different.
Anymore all i do is move them off roads or when i see them around the house i relocate them. Just came across another coral snake last week. Little bugger went right over my bare feet. Scary thing is thats the second time ive had that happen in the past year. lol
