I was just wanting to know what is the easiest way to remove a snake when he decides you look a little tasty? My kingsnake sometimes want to see if he is able to swallow me. I don't want to hurt him by trying to pull him off so I just let him do his thing until he realize he can get me Down.
So what do ya'll recommend?

Can't get me down. Not can.

boy I never had that problem so hopefully someone will chime in here with that experience...but a guess would be a squirt of water maybe??
from a spray bottle?
I dunno maybe that would make it release you?
How big of a snake are we talking about?

If your main concern is the snake (I hope), you need to be as gentle as possible. Alot of times when the animal is removed on impulse (a quick jerk) teeth get disloged. That is not good for the snake and the wound can become infected where he bites you if the teeth or tooth is not removed. Sometimes the teeth are to small to see or feel.

A simple cloth with some rubbing alcohol on it held over the nose will make it back off and release.
They just ignore water.

Id go with what merlin said. Since its just a king. What I used for my retic was a small bit of whiskey. he let go right away. That was the quickest way I could get him to let go.

As far as the size of my king that like to bite me. He is about 34". It don't hurt. He never struck at me he just opens mouth and clams down. I do love my snake and I don't want to hurt him so I never pull him off of my finger. I just wait for him to let me go.

Haha sometimes I wish I had that problem...

i havnt gotten bit in almost a year... i think I need to do some field herpin...
dang...

but yeah, rubbing alcohol worked last time... oh so long ago...

run him and your hand under some water, that usually will get them to release immediately.

Another trick is to have a mixture of water and vinager (sp.?) nearby in a sprayer.
If your spray them with that.. they release
