You can't do anything with some Models but grab them by the tail

She tried to get away so I grab her by the tail ...she went into strike mode

She just needs to be reminded of one itty bitty thang...

She tastes like chicken!

You are lucky this is a rat snake and non-venomous! It is never a good idea to grab a snake by the tail, they can turn around bite you before you even know what is happening!

Thank you for your concern of my welfare. I use to work in the serpentarium in Fargo Ga. My home town. I can assure you I know how to handle a snake venomous or non-venomous!

Cool photo! Great pose you got your model to take. From what I hear all models are a bit cranky, from lack of food I would guess. She does look a bit starved. lol
