Thanks all! :w
Yeah, as you guys suspected, it wasn't very *fun* getting him out of the tree! lol
The branch isn't nearly as high off the ground as it appears in the pic. He did make a few attempts to go upward though, but I kept 'persuading' him to go elsewhere. Unlike my red tails, the BRB sits still about as much as a toddler.
So I could only feel comfortable enough to shoot the pics when he had a few moments of 'contemplation' or something.
Getting him out took some sharp thinking and quick reflexes. lol
BRBs keepers are more than aware of their constricting strength so I had to 'beat'em to the punch' and use my hands and arms as a false branch.
Hey it was worth it though, I guess?!?
