Can anyone tell me where i can get real long feeding tongs or tweezers???

I have the usual ones you can get (30cm) but would like a little more distance between my hand and the sharp end on some of my hots!!!!

any help would be appreciated

me too please, b ut the ones with handles like scissors. i cant get a good grip on the bigger rats for the boa, and she is refusing to eat them if she cant strike. i have heard bbq tongs are good, but they are not THAT long.

I have found a few:

45cm ones: http://www.everythingforpets.com/lucky_reptile_feeding_tongs.pet/use.id.5.item_id.7600.dept.978/

these ones come in 66, 100, and 130 cm versions: http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/reptile-supplies/reptile-handling-equipment-428/reptile-tongs-824/lucky-reptile-snake-tongs-26800.html

60cm tweezers: http://www.eurorep.net/retail/product_info.php?cPath=330_333&products_id=2193

Loads of tongs: [urlhttp://www.eurorep.net/retail/index.php?cPath=330_332&osCsid=2ed8219ae28e9b126a812c542ef09342[/url]

The second one and fourth ones are supposed to be for handling snakes, but we use them for feeding at work

hope this helps[/url]
