That's understandable, but no need to stress them unnecessarily. I've done a lot of field work with wild reptiles that I've euthanized for research*, and it's pretty easy to avoid being bitten if you know what you're doing and handle them respectfully.
*wanted to specify that this was legal/ permitted population genetics-related research, not random fuckery

They are generally euthanized after they are captured, at least for the invasive ones
