I hold them by the leg or the scruff of the neck if they are big. But yeah, tails breaking off in your hand is GROSS!

LOL! My girlfriend, after my snake had refused her f/t rat, my gf decided to have some fun, and spin it around by it's tail, like a propeller. The tail skin came of, the rat smacked the wall, and a good time was had by all....

LOL better yet if you are offing them and the whole tail breaks. A few times I was killing jumbos by means of cervical dislocation. I grabbed behind the head and then yanked the tail and it broke off near the base, and there was all this booger-like spinal cord dangling out 
Stuff like that doesn't gross me out though.
