Thank you very much. That was genuinely helpful.

Could you give me some tips on how not to seem aggressive when taking them out of their cages? That is where the biggest problems are. Once they are in my hand, they are fine. I'm working on getting a snake hook, but aside from that.

The contraption that most of these snakes are in is similar to the picture below, and I think part of the reason they get spooked is because I am reaching for them at eye level instead of down (like it would be in an aquarium).
