I use tools to handle all venomous unless we absolutely need to restrain the snake by hand for another reason (stuck shed, medicate, lab work) I dont know of any GOOD reason to handle them by hand. Putting yourself at risk to impress someone else is certainly one of the things that has given some hot herpers a bad name. Gee wasn't there just a guy in Oregon that got bit by his rattlesnake that he stuck in his mouth to impress his chick..lol I guess adding alcohol to the mix isn't wise either !!
