.....because the most common thing for strong adult snakes to do is thrust forward very forcefully when they feel the probe entering their cloaca to escape it, so you have to be ready to give with them rather suddenly as they do this or they will quite literally run themselves through with the probe.

It is important to know this will inevitably happen if the snake is not held very still.
