RE: holding I talked to Kathy Love once about this and she told me to get a trash can, put it in the closet of the snakes room and put a mouse in there. I guess that would depend on the size of the snake, because I think the trashcan would be for the snake not being able to get out. The best way to fix that is to try and hold your corn for like 5mins a day and dont flinch when it strikes at you. You have to show it that its going to be your way not the snakes.
