i forgot the most important thing....

the moment where you risk a bite is when you approach him and pick him up. when he is sitting on your hands/arms, the risk is basically down to zero.

i also have a video, unfortunately its not in english. at 2:40 in the video, he shows how to do it incorrectly and gets tagged a few times, then shows how to do it correctly. then he gets stinked at 4:00. and he shows how to release a feeding bite with a puff of air at 4:25.

the video:

but without translations its really a bit weird because he explains it all, and does everything you should do and everything you should not do as he explains it. so when he says "snakes dont like it when you grab them and hold them tight" he does just that and the snake doesnt like it. its funny how he gets tagged when he shows how not to do it, and makes it part of his presentation. also he gets bit in both hands, it even starts bleeding a bit, and it doesnt affect him at all. pay attention to the flat hand being used as a shield.
