Hey Mike....I've typing this from Daytona Are you coming?
I've nver kept anything really large, 12' being the max. I have a couple of Olives in the 10-11' range, but I always have one glove on at all times. The bigger male tagged me through the glove yesterday, minor damage. The only animal I've had in the past couple years that garnered more respect was a 12', 23lb Papuan Olive. Strongest snake I've ever handled, especially for it's size. I always wore a glove on one hand, and usually used a snake hook until it was in my hands. They tend to go UP when handled. It never bit me, but I was always cautious about it entangling my legs. It got the respect it deserved.
And I'm 6'5", 218.
