Not a whole lot to add to this, just keep in mind, as some other's have mentioned, unless you use a hook to take out some of the bigger ones, just go in with an opened, flat palm, as this offers minimal surface for the snake to grab, cover them in the head area with flat palm, and gently grasp them while lifting them out all in the same motion. This will offer no time for the snake to "zero in" on the target(your hand)and get defensive, they're up and being held before they really knew what happened. This method really works very well.

best of luck with them!
