@bcr229- Beautiful snakes & a good video (made me laugh..."been there")Originally Posted by bcr229
To the OP: The video shows that as you handle a frightened snake, you need to "be the ground" while "tiring them out" (stay under them, & don't give them targets, like your hands or face).
But that first snake was really squirrely, because to him, danger was everywhere- including the guy holding him. The advantage of sitting down with a snake wrapped in a towel for a while is that they calm down as they learn your scent & touch- then all they have to accept is our appearance (including size), but it's not as stressful as being out in the open while being held by a stranger- not at all. And you can do that while watching a movie- just don't fall asleep, haha. Take your time with snakes, especially the ones that really need it.
