Sure, let's use entertainment television and it's celebrity herpers as a guide to proper snake handling. Yeah, that makes sense...

And I said 3" because that's what you appear to be holding in the picture, but okay to be fair it could be 5", which is very different from the 18" mentioned in the previous post. And we are not talking about 3-toed sloths, prehensile tail skinks, or primates. We're discussing snakes, medium to heavy bodied snakes at that; and the related issue of supporting the snake's entire body weight by suspending it by the end of it's tail.

But hey, if you think that the snake digs it, than who am I to judge. Why not just swing it over your head like a lasso and say you're giving it a helicopter ride. Who knows, maybe that happens in the wild too...
