I use hemostats most of the time. Mine is wild caught ( as caught worm size baby) I picked him up once last saturday and then twice sun. now he wont even go to the warm side of the tank. He stays on the cold side in a complete diff. hide. At first I thought he was getting better but still in all he is beginning to go into shed too. Im thinking of getting a captive bred to keep with him in his 50 gal tank I would like to take a pic but dont wont to frighten him any more for a while. Hopefully he will eventually relax with another in company.

Steve, I saw your vid with Shy blue. She seemed to relax a good bit as got older, nice looking snake btw.
