Handling giant constrictors

[JimmyDavid]

I'm with Chuck, here.
First of all, you have to know your animal. By adulthood, snakes have a personality so very well defined that you almost can't go wrong. Tame is tame and those that never tamed down probably never will. there's a small chance that even the tamest of all snakes could go crazy at some point, but that chance also aplies to all living things: dogs, horses, even people. So, if our fear comes from there, then we are never safe near any living creature. But our primordial fear of snakes makes us more suspicious of them than, say, a good looking horse. Now, we all know that horses cause more deaths than snakes every year, don't we? So, if you are asking if i trust myself alone near a giant snake that i know it's tame, the answer is "much more than around some people i know"lol.
If you are dealing with a wild giant constrictor (i didn't use the word mean, because they are simply animals trying to defend themselves) then you have to use common sense. All help is good, and you should know what you are doing.
