You now have to buy the gloves and the sleeves separate.

Cheers for that. They will only be used for my mangrove until i get into keeping hots, It's just that i like free handling my mangrove without a hook but when she's fully grown i'll be getting some gloves. I'll always free handle her unless there is a genuine reason why i can't.

I have 2 of them, one with the long handle and one with a handle I cut in half. The half size handle is more convenient for me to work with.

Awesom
Awesome, thanks for the review. That's kinda what I was thinking, about cutting the handle down. Pretty much everything I use at home I like the handle to be under 36".

Personally i think death is a pretty genuine reason.....

Boiga mangrove and not the viper mangrove if so then i would Be using hooks and tongs.

I made a few hooks from golf clubs as well, i bought cheap ones at a thrift store! they sell the cheap brands here for like 1,50 each.

I actually have a pair of golf club hooks that the person I bought them from threaded the inside of the club and the end of the actual hook so they don't pull out. More work and more cost, but still cheaper than the ones from Midwest. I've got a couple of the ones from Midwest too.

i don't even know what brand my 2 store bought hooks are, reptech i think. We don't have much choice here.

I have some midwest stuff, but the main hooks I use are custom from John Zegel. They work and look great.
