Ohhhh, yeah something soft on the hook is a great idea! I think he hates the metal. He bucks at it and bites at it, raises up like a freaking cobra. He goes ballistic at the thing, and while he's busy hating it, I can usually grab him and coax him out. As soon as he's out of the cage, he bolts to me like, "MOM, did you see that monster in there?!?!" So interesting. Outside of his enclosure, he's a lamb...but as soon as he crosses the threshold back in, his pupils dilate, and it's a definite no-hands zone.
I want him to feel comfortable with the hook because I don't know that he will ever be the kind of snake you can consistently reach in and pick up without a second thought. Especially when he's a big boy and has dragon teeth
