appropriate vs inappropriate handling

[Bogertophis]

....And I always support all my snakes body while handling to help with feeling alittle secure. Gosh.. I would hate it if someone
dangled me around...LOL

I vaguely remember that as a little kid, really hating it when my smart-aleck uncle did that to me, so yes, snakes have good reason to hate that- it's a loss
of security & control, & furthermore, it's what a predator would do.
