Default Metal feeding tongs

How much should a pair of metal feeding tongs be? I was tagged by my boa on Thursday during feeding

I got 18" tweezers for <8 quid from reptilekeeping.com. They are also on ebay.

I got some even better ones from a medical supply house years ago, but can't find them now. These were one piece of steel rather than 2 pieces welded together.

yep indeed
Just look for unhooking tweezers, forceps or tongs.
Will probably cost you about £3

forceps are stupidly cheap! and better than tongs/tweezers less likely to loose grip!

I used to use 12" berbeque tongs from the £1 shop, can't remember how much they were though...


They were ideal, just held the mouse/rat by the tail and hey presto no tagging from my boa.

Worked great, very sturdy and just a quid.
