Don't be a statistic.
Handling a snake over 8-10' by yourself is stupid, plain and simple. They are not predictable and can be very dangerous. I personally know where there are two retics in private collections right now that are responsible for ending the life of their previous owner - both cases the owner had years of experience and thought they "knew" their snakes. Both cases - the keeper would be alive today had someone else been present. It is not a good idea to work with a large snake alone PERIOD. I don't care who you are, how big you are or how long you have been keeping constrictors... somethings aren't worth the gamble.
