Yes
“but your stimulating the idea that its okay for pretty much anyone to do these surgeries”
No – I never said that. In fact I wrote (and you quoted):
“it would be generally advised that a qualified veterinary surgeon perform the operation”
Thus there is no need for you to put spin or interpretation on an explicit statement!
All the best
Absolute April, I am not at your facility so cannot comment on what you observe.
I can however state that thermally, the human hand is generally far better for a snake than a usually too cold or hot hook or other metal implement, so on that basis alone is the better handling implement.
Added to that the fact a hand can contour to fit the animal, it wins hands down. That others agree with me is seen by the general preference by everyone to handle non-venomous snakes by hand. I have never seen a Corn Snake handled with tongs!
Your inferences that sticks are superior to hands as a handling tool for the snake’s welfare is therefore patently false.
All the best
