Gorgeous Scrubbie, a species I would love (and hate!) to work with one day!

If you want a good solid hook, get one off Johnno from ERD. He's on here. They are a good price and they last, very well made.
I don't use hooks very often on pythons, but I know i can rely on the ones i got off johnno they are solid. I'll use them to move rocks, bits of steel plate etc on callouts for vens when you don't feel like sticking your fingers in under something to shift or lift.

haha I know Jonno.
I think I will give up on using hooks anyhow ( unless I get a few Vens)

Aren't hooks painful for big snakes with all 10 kilos hanging on a 1 cm thick bar?

Trouble would be getting directly above and getting a good photo....you would need a wide angle lense to fit it all in haha.

Just noticed this..... You can't lift a big snake with a hook , only suggest the snake moves in one direction by supporting the snake under the first 1/4 , I guess you would already know this seem you have quite a few snakes.

He didn't try and eat me for the first time ever!!


Bastard broke me hook tho , hahahaha

Ya gotta love them though .My girl has settled down quiet a bit as she has got older but she still has her nasty days. Pics were taken on one of her good days .

I really asked the question to clarify in case kids think they can protect themselves by carrying a large snake around at the end of a pole. I mainly use a hook to drag the animals to the front of my cages so I can pick them up, as a lot of my cages are 900mm deep.

That is how I like to use the hooks for bigger snakes, too. Just slide a bit of snake near you so you can pick it up with your hand. That way my big guys know there is no food on offer.

Still got ya dog mal?

Yeah dog is still kicking about .Here's a pic of the other dog in the hammock with my daughter .He knows to stay well away from the bigger snakes .

 

[Morgan_dragon]

Bloody hell those are some big snakes! EEeeeekkkk.....pretty though. I wouldn't hold out much hope for that dog if he was silly enough to keep hanging around your scrubs while out...
