    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What kind of feeding tongs would you guys use for... say, a green tree python, an amazon tree boa, and/or a ball python?

Where would you recommend I get some tongs? I see a lot of options out there, but I am not sure what the best thing for me to get would be... what's the difference?
 
Just a pair of hemostats, I use 15" myself and it works for the little guys as well as the biggens...
 
Mighty Midgets or Little midgets or

whatever the heck they are from Genesis ? I feed all of my hots with them as well as my caimans and tree dwellers.
 
Here's a pair I had hanging around. :)

Damn DAND, almost spit soda on my keyboard. I mostly use the same "tongs" DAND does, for my CA king that is the devil incarnated and a few others, I use 12" tweezers. I use to use a pair of Hemostats, but they were the kind that "locked" and they would lock onto the tail sometimes, so I'd end up in a fight with the snake trying to get the tail loose.
 
Thanks for all your input, everyone! I went with an 18in locking hemostat. Now my fingers may live to see another day. :eek:)
