Yes but that was I recall 4 months ago and I have an actual snake hook if I cannot pick him up. And about the Allah thing, I am sorry for offending you but get over it, do you want me to put up an annotation saying "Disregard that last comment?". I wasn't poking it with a pool cue at all he was striking at it then he pulled back then I touched him with the pool cue again and he balled up. I am way more knowledgeable now and I don't use it anymore. But this isn't about us fighting, it is about the snakes well being. Thanks
