How hard is it to deal with large snakes?

[Dr_Gonz0]

what does it matter the sex if she's physically fit? yes, it's a fact that men are usually stronger than women but have you met his fiance? do you know that she's a hundred pounds and really weak? if the two of them feel that they can handle this snake together, with confidence, does it matter that she's female?

Fit nothing, these snakes in my opinion need at least 4 people to handle. If it decides to throw a coil on you, one person is not going to make a difference, man or woman.

Here is a pic of my gf and i with a friend of mine's burm.





She is 17 feet and 210 lbs.. It took 5 of us to hold her up, and that was with her docile and friendly. Even with 5 of us though, if she decided to throw a hissy fit, there is little we could do. I think very few people should own these snakes, and for good reason. This is not intended to offend any large snake owners, but these animals require extreme respect and a handler with exstensive knowledge that few people possess.
