I own a cage hook from Fuhrman that I got in the 80's and still perfer it over all the home-mades and bought ones I've used over the years. It performs very well and is light and only a little scared from use. Midwest hooks are too large to perform well and the large open hook won't hold a snake well enough for me. They also owe me for two large hooks I paid for, returned and got no refund for. Try Fuhrman if you haven't. Shannon B.

FuhrMont custom makes each hook, tailoring it to perfection. Although a bit pricey, every cent is worth it. The aluminum shaft is deceptively strong. The custom fabric grip is unmatched for reducing slipage. Fuhrmont offers a wide range of hook designs and materials. These hooks makes handling everything from Dendroaspis to Bitis a breeze. Great for the lab or the field, these hooks are must-haves if you work with snakes!

The best hook that I have ever used!

I recently placed an order for a couple snake hooks with Fuhrman diversified inc.
They quickly responded to my E-mail and answered all of my questions. The hooks that I ordered come in the standard snake hook U-shape or the
L-shape, the price is $31.00 each. I ordered hooks with a custom square shape and so they cost an extra 5 dollars, no big deal.
I recieved the hooks about a week after they had recieved my check.
And, as I had asked, the shape was just as I wanted. I was amazed at the weight of these hooks: four and a half ounces!!! One hook is 24in and the other is 30in and have identical weight and feel. But don't let the weight fool you, these are strong enough for almost anything in your snake room and strong enough for moderate field usage, especially with the L-hook.
Upon first admiring the new hooks, I knew that I had seen the same thing somewhere else... and then I realized that it is the same kind of hook that Mark O'Shea has used for years on all his shows. (The silver one with the black grip)
After a while of playing with these new toys I put a length on rubber surgical tubing on the hook ( something that I like to aid in gripping and pinning of snakes and in gripping objects in the field.)
The handle on these hooks is a kind of spong dip thing that I have seen on garden shears.
The grip is easy to use and I have seen Mark O'Shea use it to pin many snakes on his show.
I have used my new hooks on the snakes where I work for a few days now and I won't buy any other brand of hook from now on.
All in all, I really think these hooks are great!
Fuhrman has a very good selection of hooks and other equipment in their catalog. All hooks have a gurantee, come in many sizes, shapes, weights and materials (including plastic, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, beryllium and stainless steel).
Their products are used by such famous herpetologists as Bill Haast (uses only Fuhrman), Mark O'Shea, Jules Sylvester, Bill Lamar and Many many many more.
Use the Original, use the best, use Fuhrman!!!
