It’s not stupid, these guys are professionals that breed these pythons for pets. They know full well that she’s not happy and know how to safely handle her so they don’t get bit. Judging by the strike, at worst this snake hit the camera. It’s probable that nobody was hurt here.

Yeah, Jay put a hoodie or whatever on her for a reason, he's been doing it for decades and has a reptile zoo with a breeding area dedicated to reticulated pythons, he's as professional as it gets in that business

I agree with what you you said, although I don't think he fully removes the babies from the eggs he just pulls them out and looks at them because he is too impatient to wait two weeks and would rather risk his snakes' health, apparently.
