Handling Venomous Snake Stitches: Confidence vs. Recklessness

I’ve been reflecting on the balance between confidence and recklessness when it comes to stitching up venomous snakes. It’s a tricky situation how do you stay calm and precise without underestimating the risks? I’d love to hear from others who’ve faced this; what signs do you look for to know you’re being confident rather than careless? Any tips for keeping a steady hand and mind in those intense moments?
