No, she basically offered to hold on to the butt end of the snake.
She's not used to snakes in any way, so I can't really count on her holding on if it starts to squirm. The one-handed grip is pretty much textbook stuff, it's not hard to do with a snake this size.
Anyway, it's pretty much trial and error right now. Not much fun for the snake.
4:17 AM, insomnia isn't fun either.
