Prepare Workspace and Tools

What happens here

The workspace is a narrow aisle lined with reptile enclosures. To prepare, the handlers position themselves strategically. Jay uses a long snake hook for manipulation and an improvised shield (a white plastic lid) to block potential strikes. The camera person (Emily) positions herself to record the event while being out of the immediate line of fire as much as possible, though still in a precarious situation. All participants crouch low, creating as much space as possible in the confined area.

Goal: Set up the environment and access necessary equipment for the egg retrieval
