Animal Handling Gloves Bite Proof with 40inch Collapsible Snake Hook,Suitable for Falcon Dog Cat Bird Reptile Snake

Lovely. Arrived on time and as described.

The product arrived earlier than promised :). Gloves appear to be of great qualityvin material, stitching and thickness of leather. I havent experienced a bite with them, but they definitely appear that they would withstand and protect me especially since my snakes are smaller species. While being heavy duty enough to withstand a bite, I feel, they aren't so thick as to overly hinder movement and therefore still allows relative ease in handling the hook, snake, latches, etc. If you have larger hands though, the gloves may be fairly snug or too small. For this I am actually greatful as I was worried they were going to be huge on me as most one size fits none usually is. They are still big on me but definitely still very functional. For me, they are loose but mainly fingers are too long Also, they go up to almost my armpits, so I am about as protected as I could be. To put into perspective, I am about 5'2" and 120lbs. Being leather though, if they are snug, it may be possible to stretch them just by wearing them for a while, or to stretch them more or quicker by soaking in luke warm water and then either wearing them to stretch them out or use a glove stretcher. (Google has some good info on stretching leather gloves/shoes etc.). They have a soft liner that makes them comfortable to wear. The hook definitely wouldn't be suitable for larger snakes, as I feel the weight of the snake would bend/break it, but I knew that before ordering. The snake I ordered it for is a feisty but small guy. I like that the hook is telescopic for easy storage.

Bought for my husband to play with our orange flavored menace. They are thick and durable enough to keep little kitty needle teeth from puncturing his hands and arms, and long enough that the stubentiger can't sharpen his claws in our flesh. 10 out of 10.

Crochet ne convient pas au gros serpent mais parfait pour les plus petits spécimens.

I do see some snakes popped up once in a while in my backyard so this is something I am looking for just in case. I was a little wary about the fitting of gloves in the beginning since it has only one "medium" size available but it fits me nicely, I am 5'8" with average hand size. The quality of the gloves is pretty good for home use but the hook is on the lighter duty side which is a little flimsy when extended fully. The hook is good for small snakes but I would still use long wooden sticks for bigger snakes if I see one.
