Snake hook

A venomous fer-de-lance (Bothrops atrox) pit viper curled on a snake hook

A snake hook is a long pole with a hook on one end that you can slip under the midsection of a snake and gently lift it off of the ground. They provide a safe means of moving snakes that are aggressive and/or venomous. You should spend time practicing with a snake hook before attempting to use it on a live animal for the first time.
