THE ROCK LOL!
My closed fist technique has worked with younger snakes but age changes things. At least in my experience, if they do tag you they don't have much to get a hold of.
I'm battling with the Bredli a bit these days. I just don't frequently handle the animals this time of year. I really should do more with Kevin. He's a bit over 3 and probably was not handled at Nick's much.
Good thing the Rock is sexy so a little tap can be forgiven.
