 you can get different sizes for varies species. if the snake is large or small and aggressive, you would want to use a longer hook to keep a safe distance away.   
when using a hook you should aim for the middle section of the body. you should make sure that you hook the animal slowly and gently. if the animal is a larger breed like a python then it shouldn't be lifted off of the ground for too long as they may start to struggle out of fear. this is why you keep a large container nearby so that it can be lifted in quickly and gently, to prevent any stress if the breed is smaller like a rat snake then may become clingy to the hook and it could become more difficult to take them off of the hook. due to them being non venomous, you can handle them with gloves or hands.  ]]> 2018-03-12 13:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/hbfdzrr10ek9/wish/240838987 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/hbfdzrr10ek9/wish/240850770 2018-03-12 13:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/hbfdzrr10ek9/wish/240850770 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/hbfdzrr10ek9/wish/240851865 2018-03-12 13:38:25 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/hbfdzrr10ek9/wish/240851865 https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/hbfdzrr10ek9/wish/240855533 it is a method of safe, easy capture and transportation of an animal. it is especially useful when it comes to venomous snakes so you do not put yourself at risk.]]> 2018-03-12 13:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/joannegoldsmith/hbfdzrr10ek9/wish/240855533
