they dont allow you to feel what the snake is doing and the can get caught up in them.

for ven removal you should be able to do it with one hand, a hoop bag and if your really unlucky a hook/jigger as well (especially if your pulling the said ven out of a tight hide spot)

Peters right, it can be more dangerous to wear gloves, hard to gauge how firm ur holding a snake with gloves on, easy to hurt the snake or not hold it tight enough and have it slip free of ur grip.
