Interesting that both times i got tag... that always was female
If You really need hook.. get good quality collapsible... You can use it for your BP's and extended for herping in the wild... I believe You have common European adder in England... and Aesculapian Snake could be "defensive" as well...
I bought mine from Reptile Basics and I'm pretty happy with it![]()
