LMAO...progress pics would be great!!! As for the crowbar, I'd ditch it, way too heavy to manipulate properly and you could probably do damage to either you, the snake, or the cage pretty easily. Anything can be turned into a hook in a pinch...a golf club is about the simplest that comes to mind. You really do have to get in there though, if you get their mind off food by giving them a nudge they'll usually just leave you alone. If you let them buffalo you, there's a high chance they'll just get worse. If you have a tub large enough to place over top of them, you can go that route too. I would definitely get some tools though...hook, tongs, hemostats, etc. Makes life so much simpler! Oh, buy a hook made to support the animals you work with also. Good luck, can't wait to see those pics!!!!
