Instead of a hook when they are either close to shedding or Spring loaded & moody id rather throw on some gloves, scoop them & get to cleaning... 90% of the time id never use them... last night my male made a hell of a mess so i had to clean the enclosure and his eyes are clouded good so he strikes out in every direction possible not to mention hangs onto his hide or anything else he cam get whole of. The hook does work, but id prefer hands on to get things done![]()
