Snake hook, I mean. On this thread here, a fellow expressed consternation at the idea of handling a 12' African rock python with a 3' hook.

I went, huh? Maybe it's because I'm a little short person, but a standard length or slightly shorter hook is about right in my hand. Anything longer mostly seems to get in the way. I work with some fairly big fellows, adult kings and mambas and the big Bothrops and Lachesis, but I don't really have much use for a longer hook. A wider one for moving heavy vipers, sure. But not really a longer one.
How about the rest of you?
