Ok...I thought I'd put this in general discussions because it's a pretty general question but if it's in the wrong spot, admin, please move it

I need to know the best type of all around glove to get for handling a very aggressive snake. I'm going to be picking up a hog island boa on Friday. From what I know of these snakes they're typically pretty gentle, but I have been asked to take in one that has suddenly become very aggressive. He has struck at and hissed at the current owner several times and is striking at anything that goes by his tank. The current owner tried to feed said snake two days ago, but it latched on and then ignored the rat. So he's probably hungry as well.

Sooooo, when I go to pick him up, I want to make sure that I'm somewhat protected and am looking for advice on a good heavy duty glove to get it out of the tank.

(I'm also picking up to RTB's and 2BP's that day)
