I have a special hook I made, it has a V-shape in the middle. So I can place it above his head, and teeter it side to side, depending on which way he turns. This way he cannot turn around quickly, also I leave 1/3 of his body on the ground. It gives him enough traction to feel like he can get away rather than turn towards me and defend himself. The black rubber glove in there, I wet it down and slide it over the hook, he usually can get any skin off near his head after he bends around the hook trying to get a grip. It is still very nerve racking though lol, but you have to keep calm and I never take my eyes off of where his head is at. It's a lot easier now he's a little bigger, when he would get shed stuck to his tail as a little guy.... It sucked because he was so tiny, and very flighty. He's much more mellow, well as far as cobra's go.
