When I grasped the head, the tail grabbed onto something. When I grabbed the tail, the head grasped onto something. I had to hold the lid ready to insert and enclose them in the terrarium, so I was trying to do that, and still have two hands free to catch them. It took quite awhile to get the first one in, and then I had to go thru the same procedure with the second snake. It cured me of any remnant of fear I might have still had.
