Stephensi are a handful to handle. Only handled them about 5 times in total. But each time I had to use two hooks so they couldnt swing themselves up onto my hand! and you always have to drop at least one of the bloody hooks when you handle them because they always try and climb to your hand!!
Beautiful snakes though. I have seen only one in the wild and completely by chance, it had no scars or external parasites what so ever.. was very tempted to take it home
