Tweezers/Tongs - Help!!

[blckwidow75]

Does anyone know where I might purchase a pair of these - at least 3" or longer? Would Wal-mart or a place like that carry them? I need them kinda quick since I am getting my C. Fimbriatus on Tuesday. I am reeeally nervous as I haven't dealt with any T's other than NW terrestrials for the past 8 years. I want to try to annoy this tiny guy as little as possible and I think I NEED a pair of these, right? Any OW tips for a newbie? Has anyone been bitten here by this species?

3" tweezers? Isn't that kinda short? If a T were gonna tag you, he'd cover those 3" in a split. Most places like a pharmacy and hobby shops will sell tweezers. What did you plan on using the tweezers/tongs for?

ETA- might also want to look into a long hemostat for some heavier duty stuff like rearranging tank decor, removing water bowls etc.

Do a search on ebay for tweezers. A few people used to sell a set of three tweezers, 8", 10", and 12" I think, for about $10. I found the tweezers I have at a cooking store for about $8. Seems like hobby shops and other places are a bit higher than that.

I think I got the addy right.


Tongs.com ?


I read about it in a Eetile mag one time.They have Snake hooks,tweesers,and long tongs for feeding mice off.


Hope I helped some.

If you're any good with chopsticks, you can use those in the meantime.

Go to eBay, that 3 tweezer set is $9.99 and worth it. Just search for tweezers, the guy is a regular dealer there

Thanks everybody! Yes, 3" is kinda short - I didn't know just what sizes they came in. Mike Jacobi sent me a PM to let me know he has them and since that is who I am getting my spiders from this time that works out great!

Go to a craft store and look in the handmade jewelry supplies. They are much cheaper than getting them elsewhere. Plus they usually come in a package of 4-5 that are 3" up to 6-8" and have curved ends on some. They come in very handy. I also bought some 14" giant tweezers with rubber tips from my local pet store for those especially nasty Ts.

Here's my nasty T tool - 18" Hemostat- but I only have hair flickers to worry about and they're all still very young.
