    Made Some Snake Hooks
    With all my snakes chilled down right now, I have been staying busy making stuff. I made some full sized (36 in.) snake hooks from wooden shafts with leather grips. Wood for a snake hook shaft isn't the stongest, but it works great if you are only handling snake (not prying stuff up with it in the field). I also made two small snake hooks for tending to the small nippy snakes. I carved and painted wooden snake heads for the handles and think they came out pretty cool. Just thought I would share. Fun (and reasonable cost wise) projects if you are bored and looking for something to do.

    Very nice and what a clever idea! You should totally market these! I bet everyone "wood" want one! :)

    Cool. Those look really nice and certainly sturdy enough for how we use them...
