Never touch a snake you do not absolutely have to..Always use proper equipment .In the field use a bagger system or a good set of tongs.I reccomend mighty midgets or m1 tongs for small snakes.Remember that one slip can cost you a finger or your life.Handle with care .Find a mentor and use there advice.Be safe and enjoy your new passion remember that any mistake will fall back on the hobby as hard as on you.Good luck.
