I'm just not to keen on holding one. I know a case may/will arise where that is necessary, but holding just to be holding is not something I even consider. Relying on puncture resistant gloves or the method in your pic frightens me to know that someone like that could be a neighbor...and poor handling methods and carelessness risks the snake getting lose around my family. Not cool.

This is also a big reason I am in favor of having a mentor...a good one.
