Let me start by saying i'm no expert in any way with snakes i've had mine about 3 weeks also hehe. I kind of do what autum explained by passing hand to hand and redirecting by turning my hand or arm over to make Vader head back the other way. Just a slow turn of the wrist usally does it. Vader wants to come by my head alot but i'm not comfortable yet with all that lol. Don't like not seeing whats he's looking at. I also would like to be able to hang him from my neck someday but i need to get rid of my insecurities first
