That is all I use..... I see you are a fan of midwest also..... I love those ulta lights for baby bitis...... The only thing I cant get into using are grabbers....... I am a hooks and tubes keeper......LOL..... This is the only snake in my collection that I handle to take pics with in this manor....... She is very very calm and does not even put on a threat dislay when I open her cage........ She is as tame as a ball python but still never freehandled.......... She is actually one of the few bitis that I have that actually seem to enjoy the ride on the hook......

She is awesome looking, I must say, the little porker As far as I'm concerned, both of you have bigger balls than me for handling such potentially dangerous snakes...

Working with hots does not really have much to do with having balls. After all, i am married so they are now my wife's property 
It is like those that study lions and tigers and bears (oh my!). We all take on a certain risk working with any animal. I would term it "Having the dedication to work with hots". I do not want the impression of hot keepers to be macho, adrenaline seeking thrill Junkies.
Just thought it needed to be clarified.

No contacts in my eyes...... I was born with these...... They look better without the red center though...... And it is not balls that makes me keep these snakes...... It is pure love...... And the handling part just comes with the territory and lots of practice and learning the reaction of each individual snake.....

*sigh* sorry guys..let me be a little more plain. I would not be able to justify what I personally would perceive as a risk of handling venemous snakes - I like to look at them, I admire their biology, but I cannot ever picture me hooking a 5' timber rattler on a daily basis (or any basis for that matter). That is what I meant...
