Venomous Handling Methods: Hands on or Hands off?

It's been interesting reading different opinions about different handling courses, and the views of the course operators themselves, on which handling methods should be used when catching wild venomous snakes, and then, which of these should be taught.

Some courses advocate "no contact" training - simply hook it into the bag and go. Some seem to teach every handling method possible ... and others are selective.

Calling all handlers of venomous snakes.... what do you think?

Hooking vs. tailing vs. pinning vs. dare I say it, tongs.
