    Re: Anyone use a Hook???

    I use a hook all the time. I hook train all of my snakes. They learn that when I use the hook to remove them from their enclosure, that I am going to handle them. I have only been bit once, which was by a gravid female at night. I wasn't using my hook at the time.

    I personally dont. I would feel silly using a hook for a BP. Thats just me though.

    I use mine mostly for my boas, and the majority of my collection is boas. There is one adult ball girl that I use a hook for occasionally. It really depends on her disposition when I open her tub. I also normally use it for the ball hatchlings to get them used to it.

    I also "Hook Train" my snakes as well my boas more than my BP's though. I do have a couple Bp's that I use the hook for because they are slightly cage aggressive and frankly I have a clean record when it comes to being bit and I would like to keep it that way

    I had great fun building a hook but have never used it. I only have a BP and it seems silly he has never show any aggression toward me or anyone else.

    Yeah. Although I have seen plenty of BP snake rooms with both hooks and tongs.

    Then again I've also seen poodles wearing spiked collars.........

    You could always scratch your back with it.

    I don't own a hook yet. May get one so I can use it to pull the tubs out of a rack on feeding day.
