IMO-Using gloves to hold hold her, then place her in a Tube, I use clear acrlyic tubes but any tube will work...perhaps like the ones for a shower curtain rod.

Good Luck

I would say you need two people. One to hold the snake and one to sex it.

Sexing

Get one person to hold the head of the snake along with around 90% of the body and the other person works with the prob. That way if the snake move or tries to flinch person A has total control of it. I have used this method for emeralds and amazons and it works like a charm. On a side note because it is a amazon they may vent from time to time so do it over a sink or your garbage.
