I am searching for someone who can help me touch up on safe handling of a venomous reptile. I generally only work with rattlesnakes. and when i do i use a home made snake hook made out of a 4 ft long fence post. But i keep the snakes head away from me at all times and i keep my hand grasped on the area of the tail under the rattle. Is there anything that i am doing wrong if so please tell me. I am a up and coming 16 year old reptile relocationist
