Honestly how many of you guys have a second handler on hand? I rarely have a second handler present. If I got tagged it would be self sacrifice the snake would get secured first off. Then I would go through the motions. I have a phone in the room actually it's the only phone in the house and is never used since we have cell phones the house phone is only to have INTERNET access. so it wouldn't take long to secure the snake then call. I am curious how many of you always have a second handler present. Also is this a requirement? If so I know you could only answer that question one way.

I dont have a second handler present when I work, I have a back up handler to help me out if I need him, and advise me, but I dont have someone there working with me, I do always have a phone in the room though.
