Ouronehome 60" Professional All-Aluminum Alloy Snake Tong Reptile Grabber Rattle Snake Catcher Wide Jaw Handling Tool with Lock and Comfortable Grip Handle

A creek runs behind our house. We caught both a snake and a lizard with this. My husband was able to relocate them away from our house. The snake got into the garage when we were unloading looking for a cool place to nap. The lizard was chasing spiders. Easy to grip, very well built and great for keeping distance between you and said critter. Sturdy and reasonably priced.

The photos are of two separate incidents with Rattlesnakes within a month. The Snake grabber pole has worked well. Rattlesnakes are the only kind of snake that we will catch like this because of their venomous nature. All other snakes are allowed to go about their business on the property. Encountering a rattlesnake can be unnerving, even if you have done it many times. I recommend this snake pole it has worked for us., my teenage granddaughter has used it without any problems.The pole is a good length and definitely worth the money not to get bit. I like that it’s blue so I can spot it quickly among the tools and shovels. I haven’t had anything break even though I did read some reviews that that was an issue for some other people. I would always check the snake pole that it’s working and the lock is working prior to picking up a snake with it. Keep your distance and slide the grabber under the snake as close up to the head as you feel, you can to prevent it from having too much access to strike. If you are using this for a rattlesnake, just be aware that even after they’ve been decapitated, they move around for hours and can still bite you and can still release venom. So they aren’t anything to mess around with. We use feed bags that are empty and drop the head in there double bag and send them straight to the dumpster. I don’t like to bury the head in case an animal digs it up. They could potentially be bit.

It’s copperhead season here and they seem to want to congregate in my front yard. Having this thing allows us to relocate them without using 14 different yard implements and praying I get the thing in the bucket for transportation.

Works well for the chicken snakes in the coup. I don't think I will use it for a heavy Timber Rattler though, maybe not sturdy enough for them. The grip does not seem to harm the snake and thats a good feature.There is a set screw by the handle that fell off and was lost before I had a chance to use the pole. But it still works fine. Light and easy for the wife to handle and wrangle our egg pirates.

Good length for rattlers, and it holds strong on fat bigger 5 1/2 footers.
