Snake handler

You might remember the rice bag and BBQ tongs of March 2009?! Things have changed since then!

Nick attended a WIRES snake handling course in November to broaden his WIRES skill-base (and be better prepared for our adventuring expeditions).  He attended his first call-out just a week after completing the course.    
  
Nick's second call-out was funny.  The caller had helpfully barricaded a door to prevent the snake moving any further from it's hiding place under a blanket box. 

Nick slowly moved furniture and tentatively used his long-handled hook to retrieve ... a shoe (and then a second)! Hah!
