Thanks. I adore him, and all my other pets, both no legs and 4 legged, and compared to most on this forum, I am still pretty new to snakes. But I am learning everything I can about them. I normally only use the hook with the 2 rescue snakes, a Ball Python and a Rosy Boa who are super aggressive. I've had Rosy's before and never met one so nasty tempered, and the Ball use to be mine and handlable, he was snippy but now after the person I had given him to due to bad situation with a ex completely neglected him for 6 months he has a nasty temper too, but he is calming down everyday. I think soon he will be easy to handle again. I apprecaite all the advice, and patience with me
