When working with snakes and large reptiles, having a snake hook is essential. A snake hook can help you move around the animal safely when you need to, like when cleaning cages or removing animals for veterinary care. Snake hooks can also be used to safely flip over or move items inside of cages, especially if the unexpected movement may startle your animal into biting. You will often see professionals using snake hooks to safely handle snakes and other reptiles both in captivity and the wild.
Snake hooks come in a variety of sizes and types, including telescoping snake hooks, double hooks, and more.

Snake Bag/Frame Bagger
A snake bag with a frame bagger can help you easily capture and contain a snake or reptile. The bag is fitted onto the frame of the tool akin to a butterfly net, and the bag slips off so you can tie it up and contain the animal.

Pinning Hook
A pinning hook is similar to a standard hook, but has a different end. The hook portion is flat on one side which allows you to pin a snake’s head in a humane and safe manner. Pinning hooks only touch soft materials (usually a rubber or silicone) to your animal’s body instead of metal.
