lol me an john just got things straightend out in Pm haha was a bit of a misunderstand, wasn;t me he was barking at in the one post haha.
But yea Abi you hit it on the head, like i told john reason i kept up with the tubing is cuz its simply conversation an education.
Using tubes is alot safer then pinning an animal to give it an examn, medication etc. Pinning can be verry dangrsou espiclay for venomous snakes. The cartlidge that holds their spine togeather an what not is not as strong as persay a constictor or even a coubrid, so any undue stress like say from pinning an the animal trashes (we all have had a rattler death roll i would say at one time) cna serriously injur the animal. not to mention if whne you pin you go to get hold wth your hand, the snake slips the pinner or your hands to far forward you still get taged.
I am not trying to make either of these guys use tubes, i am simply stating their uses an why an how it can make life easier with hots when it becomes nessicary.
Like I said before there always come sa time in a keepers lif when you have to put your hands on the snake, thinking you will never have to is simply a false sence when keepin tehse guys unfortunately its soemthing that has t happen sometime an its better to know how then not to
