Anyone use a Hook???

I have a nice snake hook. I use it as a tap-stick when some of the snakes decide open bin = feedin's, and I just want to clean their cage. I use it to hook out snakes that are occasionally aggressive, and I sometimes use it for big girls on eggs.
I don't have to use it very often, but it's nice to have it on hand when I do.

got a home made hook it mostly used to help me get off the ground, but ineed to get a real hook/tongs before I get bit again by a vemonous snake. I don;'t really look at them I just reach in and grab the snakes when I do the snake calls.

Yep. For a big Burm and one of the Retics. Never for a BP though.

Mostly the boas get hooked and sometimes the BP when he's cranky...

I do at work, sometimes the snakes have a crazy feed response where they come barreling out of the cage. A warm hand feels like prey, cool hook feels more natural I guess. I can use my hands after though, if I need to take them out. One boa is a little pissy, but he's alright once he's out. ~Caylan.S.~

I have a few big girls that come out of the tub around 18 inches mouth wide open head going side to side looking for food. They could use the hook. I wish all my snakes had a feeding response like that!

looking to get a hook just for kicks, I mean I do have an aggressive little girl right now but I just use my hands. I will probably get a hook at the next herp show just in case since I am going to start breeding and don't want to get tagged when collecting eggs.
