Kyle, would you mind giving a definition of what "around the neck" and "around the shoulders"? mean and how they differ when working with giants?

Like do you define "around the neck" as being coiled COMPLETELY around whereas the other is partially?

I thought (in my extreme lack of knowledge in working with giants since I dont work with any at all nor do I ever intend to) that to "control" the animal it should be around one shoulder and brought across the back on to the opposite forearm.

and pardon me but if that is your definition I still wouldnt feel comfortable with having a 17ft snake around my "shoulders" cradling both sides of my neck.

but that last bit is just me
I think a snake over the shoulder and not around it is probably the most viable option. You can control the situation with the snake as the other part could be around your waist.

With that said, one person shouldn't never handle a large snake alone. Not only someone in just the same room but two people should have hands on the animal at all times.

DC, there's no reason to open a new thread as this topic pertains to the pictures. Yes, it's slightly different but still on topic.
