Yeah, I usually try to keep a close eye on feeding snakes on aspen(especially very small young snakes. I have a pair of long tongs, and if I reach over very slowly and carefully even on very nervous individual's, they don't seem to be too freaked-out by it, even though they sometimes pull away immediately after doing so when they feel it being pulled out.

The long set of tongs are a very handy item indeed!..
