With your gaint snakes you ALWAYS want another person there with you when they are bigger so you don't get into trouble. A lady a month or two back was killed while giving here retic meds and I think the retic was around the 10 foot range. When I was younger and not following the rule (to have someone there) my 12 burm bit and wraped my arm it took about 30min to get him off and there was alot of bruising and teeth marks all over my hand. Now I don't own any gaints, not to say I won't ever again but even now I am more watchful over my rtb and brb than the balls.
