As regards hook usage ... oddly enough I use one for the HD Hypo Burm and the SD Purple Albino Retic and any of the bitey / unpredictable Kings / Ratsnakes ..
The only ones I just use my bare hands for are the adult Corn Snake , the Royals , Rhino- Nosed rat snake and the Sand Boa ... who I trust implicitly.
Hooks ( tiny 12" ones ) are great for baby Corns or any little , fast moving hatchlings .... as they scarper when you go to pick them up but when you get the hook gently under them they kinda relax and it's so much waster to lift them out gently with the hook and one hand .
Just prefer it chasing then all around the viv
