Just explained a snake tongs to my wife,last night while we were watching the show. I have used a snake tongs on the muskrat line,when reaching in a hut.Saved myself many times from a nasty bite. I also never understood why they just don't shoot the snakes,unless they need them alive for the food market. Tom
If my feet aren't wet,I must not be trapping. Tom Olson MTA life member#100,also WTA life member

I have caught and sold rattlers. If they are not alive the buyers wont buy them. Something about resale as food. Most of the meat gets canned. sdome are used for venom collection. The rattles and skins are marketed also.

Steve Erwin was worth less than possum poo. Seen a tv show with him in it catching rattlers and going on and on about how round ups need to be stopped. OK for him to catch them but nobody else was supposed to. His daughter is a big animal rights advocate now.
I haven't seen the show this post references but I watched one about 6-8 years ago where they were catching alligators. After about 10 minutes it was so obvious that every thing they did was created drama for tv I quit watching.
