Gloves and long sleeves, although I'll even skip the long sleeves sometimes. My male blue beauty is 8ft of scared an angry! He's calmed down a little bit, but still not when I touch him.

Best thing to do is with the gloves, get his neck fast! And keep an eye on his head while you get the rest of him out and support him. If he tries to do the "back out of the glove" or "wriggle forward" trick, just make sure you have the rest of his body supported against you or on/around your arm while you get a hold of him closer to the head again with the other hand. I hope that makes sense, but it really works well for me. It ends up looking a bit like how a mime pretends to pull himself along an invisable rope, except the invisable rope is an angry snake and you're not pulling, the snake is.

Basically, one hand needs to grip near enough to the head that he can't getcha. Stretching your arms out gives both you and him a bit more room too. After a while of this he'll probably get bored and start to calm down a bit.

In putting him back, I always try to do so head first into the hide. Gives you a chance to get his butt back in and move your hand away from the head without giving him a chance to nail you. Neptune get's my glove every so often, but I've never been bit so this all seems to work. Nice thick and long work gloves. My female is super tame, but I put her back in head to hide first too because otherwise she's everywhere, lol.

Hope that helps!
