I always wore a thick leather glove (welding glove) as an extra precaution. The glove comes in very handy when the snake makes an unexpected twist or jerk that may cause the handler to lose their grip. - Jay Rubinoff, U.S. Army

Isoflurane is not tolerated well by some species - such as my original black rat snakes (Elaphe o. obsoleta) - it seemed to induce a fluid build up in the lungs during surgery. – Tessa Bashore
