Hi all,
I have a similar device I use to keep snakes at bay if I want to change their water without taking them out their cage. It is a foot square piece of plexi-glass which has a triangle piece of glass at the top, bent to 90 degrees with a three foot handle attached to it. I find it very safe to use as you can keep an eye on the snake all the time.
All the best,
Brian.
