They're nice but would have a word or two to say about the way he's handling the poor things...

And?

Its a baby snake he's being rough as with.

So he's bred aload of snakes..I'm not going to start licking his @rse for handling them roughly.

So hes bred quite a few, and obviously lost the gentle way to handle babies with it...

I couldn't give a rats @rse what his name is, or what hes done, he is probably that way because of everybody kissing his crack for what he does..

What cause you do love ??

Hatchling aload of snakes doesn't mean you can't get rough with them after the years you know.

Jesus you sound as crazy as that picture looks...

no we arent saying that. but i handle my snakes gently, a lot of the time they come to me. i dont like to see them being handled roughly, and when they are babies its twice as bad. it can result in them being headshy, and iv had to deal with a few of them. its not nice when you put your hand out and they recoil like you beat them up.
i agree he has handled probably more snakes than we ever will. but his handling proves to me that even so called experts get it wrong sometimes.
that wee one is lying there all balled up looking so calm and contented, then along comes a big hairy hand, grabs it and when it wont straighten itself he hauls it straight.

Crazy??? I have made two short comments. You obviously think you know best. Go ahead you are entitled to your opinion. Ralph has been keeping snakes for longer than you have been alive(As have I). He treats his animals with great care. The fact that you think that he's treating them roughly just shows your limited knowledge of both snakes and RDR.
