Excellent advice from the others. I strongly advocate use of a hook for taking out constrictors. One thing that has worked very well for me in calming aggressive snakes is I take a few strips from an old, unwashed t-shirt and place them in the snakes cage and hide. The snake gets used to your scent and associates it with the safety of its cage. Bill
