    snake hooks
    So I have been looking at snake hooks, because Sangre is starting to outgrow the one I currently have. I am looking at these:

    Should I get the Viper, Mamba, or Bushmaster hook? I need one that will last for about the next year (size wise). currently my Blood Python is about 34 inches, and 380 grams. I would like a hook that will last for about a year or so. The hook I currently have is this:

    Which hook should I get?

    Mostly comes down to your comfort level & what you use it for: not really something we can answer, IMO.

    Are you just tap-training or do you actually lift snakes with a hook? (you don't even need a hook for tap training...just a blunt stick)

    Do you need one that telescopes for space? I don't think they're as sturdy, for snakes that weigh more, but full-size hooks don't fit into tight spots either.

    Do you need a longer reach (for arboreal, large & feisty "eager eaters" or hots)?

    Does it matter to you what the hook itself weighs? Some might prefer lightweight, but others need the most sturdy hooks.
