Tools made for the job are used instead of bare hands. Among those tools are hooks, tongs & heavy duty gloves. If by "handling" you mean taking out of the cage & draping around your neck or some such, the answer is no. Removing the venom glands is possible, but not without extreme discomfort to the animal, and the fangs still remain in place. The fangs alone, without venom are capable of inflicting a very painful bite. If you are looking for a snake you can take out & play with, you may want to stick with non-venomous snakes. | ||
