I have the regular old hemostats, I believe 16 inch long, non locking.
In all my years of snake ownership, I have yet to have a snake stab itself on it or even grab them in any way.
I usually hold the rodent somewhere over the shoulder.
Using bare hands is not all that advisable. Sure, it can go well many times, until it does not. And a feeding strike/bite is a LOT more painful then a defensive nip. Ask me how I know
