Midwest makes a "Boa Hook" that is extremly sturdy and works well with gaboons. I ordered mine with a standard lenght shaft, then modified it to make it lighter by "Skeletonizing" it, cutting a couple of inches off the hook end, and grinding a smooth rounded point that makes it much easier to get under an adult gabby in an elevated cage. I would use a standard hook for elevating the head and neck, then slip the "Monster Hook" under to support most of the snake's mass.
