I will say it once again those snake tongs are barbaric,,, its bad enuff on the snake when in a situation of being removed ,while people like myself who are trained to catch and relocate use the bag and jigger method( and we use that system because its the least invasive way to catch snakes ) The snakes are already in a stressed situation (99%of time) due to being harrased by the human who found it in the house or shed or even worse being attacked by a dog .......then on top using those bloody clamp like tongs would even stress it out more and i agree with jonno that it can give inexperienced people a FALSE sense of security too ... when it comes to finding venomous snakes in your house /yard /shed and you want it gone ,ring somebody that is experienced and licensed to do it ,your local council ...zoo or even police station should be able to help you out with a number to contact ,,,in a ven situation again the thing to do is watch the snake at all times till someone can get there if you have dogs chain up or place in another room away from snake and if in a bedroon place towel under door so snake is contained in one room that way when a catcher comes you know exactly where it is ........redbellybite
