A lightweight snake hook includes a hook portion attached to a distal end of a shaft portion. The shaft portion can be a hollow rod of aluminum or fiberglass, and an end of the hook portion can be attached to the hollow end with an epoxy. The hook portion has a profile, such as U-shaped, “recurve,” S-shaped, or rectilinear, for supporting the snake. The hook portion is formed from a substantially cylindrical rod of polycarbonate bent into the profile. The polycarbonate hook portion is lightweight and strong and allows a handler to use the hook on long shafts and with large bodied snakes. Furthermore, the hook portion has a diameter providing a broad base or resting area for the snake. For example, the broad base is beneficial for snakes having delicate ribs, such as the Gaboon Viper.

The shaft portion can be a hollow rod of aluminum or fiberglass, and an end of the hook portion can be attached to the hollow end with an epoxy. The hook portion has a profile, such as U-shaped, “recurve,” S-shaped, or rectilinear whereby the profile is substantially congruent with the snake, for supporting the snake. The hook portion is formed from a substantially cylindrical rod of polycarbonate or like material bent into the profile and having a thermal conductivity less than about 4 W/(mK). The polycarbonate hook portion is lightweight and strong and allows a handler to use the hook on long shafts and with large bodied snakes. Furthermore, the hook portion has a diameter providing a broad base or resting area for the snake. For example, the broad base is beneficial for snakes having delicate ribs, such as the Gaboon Viper.

A device for cooling a cetacean using a cooling fluid and for moistening the cetacean using a moistening fluid from a source includes a cooling system, a pump, and a plurality of covers. The cooling system cools the cooling fluid and can be a powered refrigeration system or a reservoir filled with ice. The pump is connected to the cooling system and pumps the cooling fluid through the plurality of covers. The covers include a body cover, a fin cover, and a tail cover. The body cover can be formed from a plurality of panels that are attachable to one another. Each cover has channels or tubing for conveying the cooling fluid throughout the cover and adjacent the cetacean. Each cover also has a drip line for releasing the moistening fluid onto the cetacean. The drip line can connect to a reservoir of fluid, which can be moved through the drip line through siphoning or by a pump.
