yeah mate, i do own a hook which i take on every call out, i also have my pressure bandage in my pocket.
a hoop bag is a necessity and i wouldnt leave home without it.
if a snake is in a hard to reach spot.. eg in the new release stand at video ezy, then i would definately use the hook to retrieve the snake... yes its happened...lol

i grew up around cane fields and steve irwin doco's, that might be why i am like i am...

i do however promote the use of hooks if they are used properly and have protective padding around hook and shaft so no snake will cause itself any damage.

but just like everyone else, i am against tongs, they are snake killers... thats why theyre illegal in some states...
