I guess it could be a good habit to do have two people when taking out a full size rtb, but it isn't all that necessary. They are really strong snakes, but are generally not "nippy". Some can be, but that goes with all snakes. I have an albino rosy that thinks he is a rattlesnake or something. He hisses and nips all the time, but after a few minutes he gives up . My RTB is extremely nosy, but has not nipped at me yet . As babies they are probably at their nippiest, but not as nippy as most snakes are. I have said a lot of "buts" so I'll stop now, but...
