Here's a link to a place you can order hooks from:

www.tongs.com/shop/index.php?GrID=16

Ideally, the "Python Hook" at the bottom of the page.



You can usually pick up a decent one at a reptile show for around $25 or so.



I made several lightweight hooks for less than 5 bucks and they're strong enough to support most of my 8ft male burm's weight. Of course, you don't want to lift a snake completely off the ground with a single hook, anyway. You'll mostly need one to stroke it with & to occasionally drag it out the door of it's cage. The cheap snake hook that I made is all I've ever used for any of my snakes, including my 10ft-plus female burm. Here's the link to directions on how to make one in case you're interested: Snake Hook



Water bowl:

You can use anything from one of the larger dog bowls to one of the plastic cement-mixing tubs found at Home Depot or Lowes. You have to keep in mind that if the burm soaks in it, they'll most likely defecate in it, too. Then you've got to pull the tub to clean it. This can be a lot of trouble when using large tubs like plastic storage bins. Misting them every now & then seems to keep them out of their water bowls. Low humidity or mites is usually what drives them there the most.



As far as care sheets, etc..., I don't have any links to any but there are some decent ones out there that can be found thru a Google search. Some are garbage, some are good.



Yell if you've got any more Qs.



Take care!
