Very nice find. Did you guys put him back where you found him?
I'm not a fan of tongs though, I've seen too many people do damage to snakes with them over using snake hooks.

Yep, same spot it was found but a little ways off the road.
I can understand that about the tongs. I assure that this animal was left unharmed but I don’t doubt that there are folks who are overzealous with their grip pressure.

What a pretty timber! I agree with Neal...I used to have some "professional tongs" but found I really didn't much like or use them, & for the same reason.
It's really easy to put too much pressure & break ribs etc. so I just used my hooks, & finally got rid of the tongs. (I never injured a snake with my tongs,
but I became acutely aware of that issue from one that was given to me that had been injured by another. Mostly, I found the tongs heavier and more
awkward than I liked to use...I'm sure I'm smaller than you guys are, lol.)

Sounds and looks like you had a good time JM. Congrats, and thanks for sharing!
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
