AFTER you have taken photos , I used to put a bit of alcohol gel (or vodka) onto a bit of kitchen roll and rub that on me as close to their nose as possible.

I would go with the water option- just because I don't waste booze or want to risk my credit card

I was speaking to the local reptile shop owner, and he had a king latch onto him, 30 minutes later, after being held under water, the snake was still attached! He said the most annoying part was all he wanted to do was get on with cleaning the snakes out, but this one little king refused to let go, In the end he held it in a fish pond as it was colder, that finally made it let go! Then as soon as it let go it tried to latch on again.

hopefully you've got it off by now lol!, but a liitle trick that works more with younger king's is to give a little short sharp blow on their heads!! honest, i'm not making it up!
