Zoo Med Labs Angled Stainless Steel Feeding Tongs, 10"

We use this with our baby snake. It does help with feeding when we aren't using something live as we have to mimic it being alive. They are long enough for our needs as that keeps you from being bit accidentally, which is a bonus.

I noticed that my not especially smart gecko would occasionally miss the mealworm and jam her face into my old wooden tongs when I had to hand-feed, which I imagine did not feel good. So, I bought these and it seems to be a much more comfortable feeding experience for her. She occasionally gets confused by the squishy rubber bits and bites down on them thinking they're worms too, but after some adjustment she got it. They do make it a little hard to pick up any runners that escaped from the feeding bowl, but they work with some trial and error. Your lizard will thank you!

Great quality and really like the rubber coating on the tip because my dragon always attacks them thinking there's always a roach in them. Nice and long too so I can reach down in the container where we keep and breed the roaches. Plus way better price than what is in the big box stores.

These tongs are very big and seem sturdy. Unfortunately, I feed my beared dragon black fly larvae and they are just too small for the tongs. It took me about 2 days to get over being a baby with touching the BFL, now I sift through with my fingers and just feed him from my hand or his tank floor lol. The tongs would work for bigger food. Also, be careful, when I was feeding him one day, he bit on the whole tip and for a few seconds his mouth was stuck. I do not blame the item for any of this, just want you to be aware. Maybe when my guy is bigger and if I ever give him bigger bugs it will be used more.

We adopted a ball python and she was a great eater but all of a sudden she just stopped eating! I was super worried, I tried soaking her, downsizing her from fuzzies to pinkies and put so many in her tank that she would go for but then ultimately just end up spitting out!! I know she can’t bite me but it’s still a bit freaky when she strikes at me so my reaction is always to drop the mouse, she has still always eaten it but I decided to get tongs after she would no long pick up the pinky if it wasn’t being held and I just didn’t have the guts to hold it while she struck at it lol plus I didn’t want her associating me with food either! Anyhow, these WORKED!! She immediately took the fuzzy from the tongs after going weeks on a food strike and I am SO thankful she did or we were going to end up at the vet next eeek! I definitely recommend these and they give you enough control to hold the food as well as keep your hands safely away from getting struck. (I’ll update my review with a video during her next feeding!)

I got these for my leo and beardie after embarrassingly snapping my plastic feeding tweezers. these are pretty bulky and heavy duty so I wouldn't recommend for any small feeds if you're tweezers feeding, but aside from that they're a great deal and high quality

These are long enough to ensure you're out of the strike zone for smaller snakes and the rubber tips make things safe for the reptile, in my case, a snake. They also grip well so if you feed live prey, it can't easily escape your grasp.

I have never bought a Zoo Med product that wasn't excellent quality and these feeding tongs are no exception. Unfortunately I cannot use them right now. They were bought to to feed my daughter's Pacman and African bullfrogs. Unfortunately these vicious little buggers bite the rubber coated grabbers and wont let go. They also grab the straight, non-coated feeding tongs we use but since those are slick they just slide off. I was worried that the frogs might hurt themselves biting onto bare metal, and that's why I bought these ones. I will keep these feeding tongs, because they definitely hold the food better than the bare metal tongs. When the frogs are bigger and are eating larger food I think these will work for me. But for now, they are a no go :|
