A '''snake handler''' is a person who professionally handles and works with [[snake]]s. Snake handlers typically work in [[snake farm]]s alongside [[herpetologist]]s, and as [[zookeeper]]s and in [[animal control service]]s. Snake-handling skills are also employed by [[first responder]]s, [[park ranger]]s, and military personnel.
