Not really herp stuff, but the three things I use most.

But my three are:

Alcohol wash: for hands obv. And I always rinse them well before going back into animal containers.

Plastic tubs: So versatile. At the moment I have in use: Food containers. A container for live bloodworm. (Tasty treat for fish) Storage for aquatic salt. Storage for loose small bits such as tweezers etc. Storage for carbon foams. Lots of other things. Oh, and ideal for poorly baby aquatics. Especially axolotl to go in the fridge.

Turkey baster: Many many uses. Cleaning up axolotl poop a specialty. Also makes a great toy for her - she snaps at the water I squirt like a dog with a hosepipe.

1. My 5 ltr cordeless garden sprayer that has a hose and a nozzle and runs on batterys.

2. My snakehooks with exchangeable "heads".

3. The airconditioner I installed this summer. Whitout it I probobly would not have any animals to care for anymore..

1. Temp gun, brilliant piece of equipment to have.

2. Pump action misting bottle, good for misting herps down and increasing humidity. Also handy for rinsing the Viv off after a good disinfecting.

3. The POOP scoop, just couldn't get by without one of these.

Not overly original, but I would say:

1. 12" stainless steel feeding tongs which I've had for about 15 years...

2. Pressure sprayer.

3. Temp gun.

Miqe - I like the sound of a battery-powered sprayer!!! Never seen one of those over here.

Cheers,
Mark.

1. Feeding tongs - use them for so many things!

2. Wallpaper scrapers - scrapes poo, dirty newspaper, sawdust (mice - they have their own one) off the tank and into the tank without having to touch it...

3. Toothbrushes - for cleaning all those fiddly bits!

Well I hand feed the snakes, so I'll break the mould and not say tongs (apart from there). Laughing

Kitchen roll

Pump action water sprayer hosey thing...yes, that's the technical name. Cool

latex gloves for removing snake sh*t out of water bowls. And internal examinations... Laughing
