What I have done is when I need to get snakes used to being handled is Just grab them out of their "cage" and carry them in my hand as I go around the house doing what ever I need to do. I do this a few times a day. It only takes a couple weeks for them to discontinue their extreme defense strikes. Then I ship them off to their new home which has been mostly to 10-13 year old kids this year for the normals...
