  • Snakes will bite for 2 reasons: They think you're a predator, or they think you're prey. In this video I explain some techniques to tame a not-so-friendly snake, including the introduction to the "Confident Grab" technique that works every time!

      Never thought about it that way! I guess half of the reaction probably comes from the shock, not the actual pain, considering how often my cat has drawn blood and I haven't even batted an eye lol. (He's not aggressive -- he just likes to play, and if we haven't clipped his claw recently he may accidentally scratch.)

    I brought home my first snake a few days ago, and I had watched this video (and many others) ahead of time. I love snakes and I've been bitten by far more dangerous animals in my line of work, but I knew it would probably scare me a bit if I got tagged. Watching you calmly react to getting tagged did wonders for the 'nervous' corner of my brain and completely desensitized me to the idea. Today, I scared my poor snake child by uncovering her in the substrate - I'd left a latch undone on her enclosure overnight and while she's a month-old corn and probably couldn't have pushed it anyways, I live in an apartment and I wanted to be sure she hadn't gotten out. Sure enough, she panicked and tagged me twice. I felt absolutely no fear or unease, just worry that this would be a very negative experience for her. So, I just sat down with her in front of the enclosure and let her calm down in my hands, then put her back once I'd put everything I'd moved back and she seemed calm and curious rather than panicked. I don't think I would have reacted with that level of calm if I hadn't watched this video ahead of time - thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and giving us newbies some confidence and respect for these animals!!

      It's not a big deal. I once had a rat snake decide I was food and try to swallow my thumb. I couldn't just yank my thumb out because that would have hurt the snake (by yanking out some of his rear-curving teeth) and caused more pain to me too. So all I could really do was wait for him to figure out he'd made a mistake. When he got to the base of my thumb and realized he'd bitten off more than he could swallow, he let go. I bled a fair amount, but it was more funny than unpleasant. And, yes, it was no big deal.

    I wanted to let you know that your video is still helping people months later. I got my very first ball python named Snickers last week and he is quite a bit defensive. Hissing and striking at me. I was looking for a way to calm him down when I came across this video so tonight when he came out to explore and was active I confidently reached in and scooped him up (Gently of course) and handled him for the first time. He was kind of holding on tight for a while then he just started exploring it was all I could do to keep up. He did strike at me once when I moved a bit too fast to try to support his front end but didn't even bite. It was good for both of us. A few more training sessions and I will be able to let my daughter and son hold him. Thank You So Much!

    I have an overly defensive leopard gecko. His name...Leonard. I've been handling him and taming him like my other geckos, but it's been almost 4 years now, and he's still a butt hole and bites me if I go to pick him up, or if I go to change out his water. But once he's out of the tank, he's fine and he seems to enjoy being put into, what I like to call a "shirt pouch" and get his head rubbed lightly with my thumb.
    I've never understood why he's so angry at me when I approach him in the tank. I've washed my hands before handling him, I've let him lick me before I scoop him up, but he still bites. At this point I've just accepted that Leonard is just a grumpy old man at heart lol.

    My dad owned a corn snake and every time he tried to hold her or feed her she would strike him. Since he knew I loved animals.. He asked me if I wanted her (Note: He doesnt really give her much attention.) Being the animal lover I am.. I said yes. Since my mom and dad aren't together.. I had to call my mom for her permission to bring her home with me since I was visiting and she agreed (If I did more chores... I said yes.) So after the day was close to being down my mom came to pick me up and I transfered the terrarium with the snake and placed it in the car and on my lap. (Its a pretty small terrarium since she is still pretty small.) While we were driving I would sometimes crack her terrarium open and pet her while she is calm (That way she gets use to my touch.) After her being with me for a year.. She has been a whole lot nicer and I can pick her up without any trouble. Since she is so calm I have let my 9 year old little sis hold her so Frisco (The snake) can get use to her too. Now that I have moved a few hours away I now trust my sister and Frisco to be able to be together and I can trust my sister to hold her and give her effection when I no longer can until I return home. My mom or her boyfriend or my sister's fiance feed her once every other week due to the diet she is on and she eats pinkies due to her size.
    This is a story of how I was able to "tame" the snake while my dad couldn't since he was too busy and never had time to bond with Frisco. Frisco is living a healthy and happy life and I hope you guys can agree if you also have a similar situation. Share the snake love! 💖

    I've sent across this tutorial to him, and hope it gives him the confidence to actually pick him up without fear! Thank you for such fantastic instructions on how best to pick up a Snake. I'm sure once my son sees your video it'll give him the inspiration to pick him up without the worry.
    Once again a massive Thank you.
    Kindest regards,
    Ian.

    i just refound this video after having watched it like a year ago and noticing that nearly everything in it really stuck with me.... I held my first snake half a year ago at a local reptile zoo (I'm oceans away from yours unfortunately) and less than 2 months ago brought home my own very first snake (a young hognose) and all the "just reach right in and hold them"... I wouldnt have remembered it was this specific video that taught me that but I'm absolutely doing exactly that and within weeks my baby hog basically doesnt even musk, hiss or mock strike at all, even when im being evil and mean and digging her out of the substrate.
    She's so sweet even the vets commented on it :)

My final step in dealing with my fear. :D I have grown to love snakes so much.

But I'm also super chill about pretty much any kind of animal bite so... Lol.

    I once had a one eared dwarf rabbit that was trained in the same way and it's a clear indicator on how differently you should treat different species... Benny's previous owners would* continuously pick him up to attempt to get him used to it but what it actually did was make things more difficult as prey animals dislike being in helpless situations. I learned to leave him be and only pick him up on rare occasions, and because of that he began to trust me picking him up because he learned to associate it with specifically being taken somewhere (which he was fine with because that meant more exploring) or when I'm petting him and just hold him to cuddle him more. In fact I began taking him to the vet in just bag so that when he felt nervous in the car he could jump on my shoulder. Animals are fascinating.
