How do you handle snakes?

Good guide, Fishbone. Indeed some snakes are naturally tame. One of the videos you showed us in another thread had that "Iron Head" snake being handled. It was extremely tame. While being venomous, all it did was crawling around. There was no strike at all I often see with venomous snakes.

When a snake tied itself around a branch or something similar, how do you get it off?

Do you prefer to use hands or a tool when you pick up the snake?

May I ask how often do you get bitten?
