The model of glove I have is no longer produced, because Venom Defenders now makes them. I use them as a backup safety tool...never as a primary method. I prefer to utilize good hooking and/or tailing technique, but know that I have the gloves on as an extra precaution. They are a great product!

I have seen gloves that are puncture resistant before, for biohazard disposal. (needles and what not) Never knew the fabric came from another company.. good information. I have at time used venom defenders as a source of restraining certain old world tree vipers, they tend to respond better to the gloves then a hook. Some times i use them to remove them from their soaking tubs. I, like you said dont recommend them as a primary source to handle a venomous snake but there are some exceptions (IMO)... Ive never even had a snake bite at the gloves. The dexterity in venom defenders is amazing, you can write fluently in pen with them on.

I don't really have good dexterity with mine, but that's probably got to do with the fact that they are slightly large on me. The medium size would not fit my fiance at all, and the large are just slightly large on me, so we bought the large. My A. ceratophora sure tries to bite them, but I dont' let her get near enough...she has bitten her own arse in full-on rage mode, so I stay far out of range of her pointy little face. The others are good with the gloves and don't seem to register them as things to bite, perhaps because the gloves block the heat signature of my hands?
