Snake Handling
2016
The handling of venomous snakes has significant risks. Ralph Hood observes, If you go to any serpent-handling church, you'll see people with atrophied hands, and missing fingers. All the serpent-handling families have suffered such things.Handlers get bitten all the time, and every few years someone dies.
In India there is a large area prone to venomous snakes that upon human interaction prove to be fatal to the either side due to lack of awareness and a factor of fear. Thus the need of a robust & a low cost, easy to handle snake stick is a must in the houses especially in the rain-forest areas, rural villages and seldom in city sites too. With 3D Printed grabbing jaws this apparatus ensures that the snake does not get injured while the hand held clamp maximizes the ease of use to the handler and is as easy as a toy while maintaining complete safety & efficient snake catch.
