I think I want to invest in a hook, silly as it may seem as I only have a docile little male hognose who is pretty much incapable of inflicting harm to me. Still, I like the idea of using a hook to get him used to handling time vs. feeding time. Don't relish the thought of him latching on and "envenomating" me by mistake.
Is this a good choice?

I figure it seems adequate, and it seems pretty cheap. I also plan to get more snakes in the future and it seems like this could probably be used for a lot of small to medium species, or babies/juveniles.
