Stainless steel feeding tongs, 25cm long. Two advantages over plastic: the extra reach keeps your hand well outside the strike range of a larger snake or monitor, and steel can be properly sterilised between animals — which matters if you keep more than one and would rather not move pathogens around your collection.
Benefits
- 25cm reach — a sensible distance from a feeding response.
- Stainless steel — sterilisable, and it will not stain or absorb.
- Firm grip — holds larger food items securely.
Using them
Present food slowly. Be aware that steel is unforgiving against teeth — do not let an animal bite down on the tongs, and release the food as soon as it is taken. Sterilise between animals if you keep several.
