My local flea market has a vendor with "everything's a dollar" type merchandise. I pay $2 or $3 for the grabbers in the photo below. I buy several at a time & they usually last over a year or so.







I can easily hold onto a baby rat's tail with these and they hold 6lb rabbits well, too.





For a cheap snake hook take a look at the ones I make out of a $4 or $5 camping fork. happyhillbilly.com/snake_hook/



They're lightweight and aren't recommended for lifting large snakes but work great for the general purpose of a snake hook to signal handling sessions.



Ya'll have a good one!
