I doubt he'll bite your palm!
Some people use a wooden spoon to kind of get the head down while picking up from the body. Some people use an oven mitt to do the same. Some people just use their one hand to get the snake to zero in on that while the other hand is picking him up (a trick we use with one of our boas to get her out safely).
The thing is, don't be hesitant with your movements because nippy snakes will bully your fear into conditioning YOU to not pick them up!!!
Crazazy!!!
