Have you ever used one before, because one slip, and dead snakey. (or seriously injured snakey)

If not, then i dont reccomend getting one. If you are, then ignore me

at that size apump will likely be too big. The inserted bit is quite large in diameter, while it wont do any damage, it is a risk. Try just the head, or head and shoulders of a pinkie, since these are more nutritional than a tail.

There are a few other options, but that is your best bet.
