Maybe some people don't want to get bitten? No, it doesn't hurt - but that's besides the point. I'm sure if you have a stressed and scared snake, you sticking your hand down there and getting struck at multiple times is just great for the snakes stress level

If using a hook means the snake won't strike - then there is nothing wrong with it.
