    A training session on snake handling is taking place in a classroom or conference room setting. A participant in a pink jacket is using snake tongs to place a snake into a white bucket, while an instructor wearing a 'Central Coast Snake Services' shirt supervises. All individuals visible are wearing face masks, suggesting this was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

    A class in handling, relocating, and understanding rattlesnakes was given in the Directorate of Emergency Services classroom on Fort Hunter Liggett, California, Feb. 8, 2021. Dr. Emily Taylor, professor of herpetology and biological sciences at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo, taught the class and guided students with hands-on training on safely capturing and relocating a live rattlesnake. They also had a chance to touch the snake once its head was safely in a tube. They received a certificate on safe handling of a rattlesnake.

    Jasmin Zamudio, FHL Housing Office supply technician, "captures" Buzz, a fully venomous southern Pacific rattlesnake, and learns how to safely bag and relocate him.
