We’re pretty sure we’re only one or two degrees separated from a practicing handler, but we’ve never actually seen one in the wild.

As a folktale, something akin to Irish leprechauns. For those not from the South, the idea of snake handling falls into one of two extremes. And among these, the Southern snake-handler reigns supreme. In American literature – and perhaps beyond – there is no more common caricature than the religious zealot.
