I would say that you may be being irresponsible. I have kept large constrictors in the past, and with my biggest (a thick 16' retic), I always tried to have someone else present. How big are the animals in question, and what is your reason for handling them alone (feeding, cleaning, pleasure, etc.)?
On a side note, while it is possible to know your snakes behaviors to an extent, I have found that Burmese pythons tend to be one of the less predictable ones. I've been tagged by "tame" snakes I thought I knew. Do you have any thoughts on this personally? ----- "He who would stifle debate rather than engage in it, does so at the expense of his integrity and credibility"
