ETB Handling by our granddaughter!

Here are some expert tips for dealing with an unruley emerald!
First you got to get it off the perch and lightning reflexes are a must!

Controlling the head is always a good idea and if you move fast enough you won't have a problem!

Slinging is a good method to keep the head at bay when you don't have control!

Once worn out, your emerald will be extremely tame!

Craig
ps- Hope this helps and BTW no 2-1/2 year olds or emeralds were hurt during this demonstration!

LOL!!! Love it! I was looking at the first pics thinking, "wow, she is one majorly cute and young snake handler!", then I got to the third pic and thought, "hmm, that could be a bit cruel to the snake".. and then the last.. well, LOL I'm still laughing now!! Great photos Craig, and yes, she certainly is a little cutie!! I take it you are training her up on the reptiles?! Her next t-shirt should read.. "the cutest snake wrangler this side of the ocean"!

P.S. I'm with Marsha.. I think I could take on that beast of an Emerald Tree Boa!
