# How to Make a Snake Hook
Only experts should handle dangerous snakes, but most species found in residential areas are non-poisonous. A snake bite is painful -- regardless of toxicity -- and a snake's mouth is loaded with harmful bacteria. Great care must taken if you handle any snake. Snake hooks are available for purchase, but the same device can be constructed in a home workshop.

1
Insert the head of the golf club in a vise. Rest the grip on a table or workbench to prevent the shaft from moving. Hold the shaft firmly about 5 inches from the club's head. Cut the shaft about 3 inches from where it's mounted to the head.
-
2
Squeeze a liberal amount of adhesive on the end of the shaft where you made the cut; use adhesive made for metal. Slide the shaft into the end of the handle of the paint roller. Re-cut or pinch the shaft -- using a pair of pliers -- if it does not fit snugly into the paint-roller's handle. Reapply adhesive. Wrap duct tape around the connection once the shaft fits snugly.

3
Allow the adhesive to dry. Test the firmness of the connection to be sure the snake hook does not come apart.
