Hello there,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but can anyone give me advice on using snake restraining tubes? I just bought a set and practiced with a snake I'd like to probe eventually (i will be using a helper when I actually probe). I could not keep the little bugger from going completely inside the tube (this is a small yearling corn snake) I tried to hold it's body and the tube in my left hand but it just wriggled right through. When I held it firmer I felt "cracking" like when someone cracks their knuckles. (sorry, best way I can describe it) So I let go thinking I was going to hurt it. I wanted to use the tubes for probing so my helper doesn't have to worry about getting bit, and I can concentrate on probing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
