YOu ever tried martial arts? Do you know how little pressure is needed to put you out cold? What happens to snakey when you collapse unconscious? One of two things - 1> snake "legs" it and you never see it again or 2> snakey panics from the fall and squeezes a bit tighter, and then maybe a little tighter and then we have another herper killed by his pet and more bad publicity for the media.

I raise the concern from a want for better publicity for us as keepers, the health and wellbeing of the snakes and of course not wanting to find one of my forum friends has died in a totally unnecessary way.

Very well said, i cant help but agree with you statement. I will continue to practice it, but keep in mind they dont coil even once just sit firmly around my sholders and in both hands, i believe that is perfectly safe but i see where your coming from if there coiled around your neck and your not supporting them with your hands, i dont do that... Shes to big for that anyways.
