No, you don't hurt snakes when you hold them. If they are in pain though, or are annoyed, the snake will crawl and squirm away from your hold. Also, wait 24 hours or more to hold a snake after a he eats. Snakes have slow digestion so trying to pick him up will cause him to either get upset or vomit his food.

Most of all, be gentle with a snake. They can sense fear and a tense person.
