The worse snake you ever handled Joe Lesh was that dying coral snake you sent me and refused to take in return and died. Where is my refund you bum?

the worst snake is ever handled was a 9ft wild caught black mamba that would climb the hook right up to my hand so i never tailed them i did it once and never again so i tried trap box but you can't get them in they just try to get out the tink gap you put the snake hook in i tried tongs but they go CRAZY they shake and have their mouth open so i ended up cutting a piece of plexiglass that perfectly fitted in the cage with about a 1mm gap on the sides and a piece of wood horizontal in the middle to put in and force him to the end so i could clean his cage

I still think the worst times I've had were courtesy of nonvenomous species. Reticulated pythons can be horrible, and they are bigger and stronger than me. My king is very naughty, but he weighs only 3-something kilograms and cobras are neither particularly fast nor particularly strong. Retics can be both, and I do not like working with them.

I also think that Asian rat snakes are the devil incarnate. I would much rather play with mambas than with those buggers.
Wow. Surprised to see that. Asian rat snakes are the devil incarnate.

I agree actually. Used to have a couple cave rats. Beautiful animals and all. The bites didn't bother me until they got bigger. THEN I learned how to handle them and avoud the teeth. Didn't know I was getting experience to keep hots. I have no interest in hots and will likely never GO there, but I guess I could if I had TOO. The stories I've read about blackforests and mambas and taipans would make me say NO to those of course

water moccasins

because of them being pungent, smelly and food intake and husbandry.

Well there was no choice on the pole for my pick. The sawscale viper. They are so nasty, they will never run. They hold their ground and strike like lightning.

Eastern Diamondback...

I had a 5.5 ft adamanteas that did not tolerate tongs and would not ride a hook.
I am used to them being easy to handle but this was the exception. When restrained, it would open it's mouth wide and SPRAY venom everywhere!

I hate any spitting snake. I've kept a few, they are a pain to handle and they mess the glass of the cage.

I would have to say my ex banded forset cobra. She was almost 7' and really wanted me dead lol, she gave me the MOST trouble, either moving into trap boxes or any thing else, i have ever had with a hot. the bush viper and the EDB werent too bad, but they got me. And i know why i wasent afraid of them like many of the other species of hots i was afraid of and did'nt tag me.
