Where did you buy long tongs

[EightLeggedFreaks]

I can't find them anywhere. And if I do, they are always barbeque tongs. Soo I ask you, where do I get a set? 18+ inches

Have you checked online? That's where I got mine, although 18+ inches is pretty long

Zoo Med makes a nice pair of 10" tongs... I don't know about 18+ though.

I got a pair at my local Pet Land in Las Vegas. Ask for "Reptile Feeding Tongs"

Means my h.mac stays at a nice distance. . I have searched but I don't know what they are called. All I can find is BBQ tongs.

you can always go on ebay if you cannot find anywhere. try finding local dealer that deals with spiders/reptiles, they should have that

I got my longest tongs and hemostats thru CornUtopia.com (corn snake site).

Ken the Bug Guy had some killer 11 inch tongs but he is out. I could not find anything over 11 so I bought these super long plastic tongs (3 feet) at my LPS. They are used for reaching into fish tanks to get stuff out so you do not get wet. They work great for light stuff. For the heavy stuff I made a 3 and a 4 foot pair our of pliers, wooden dowels and packing tape. They also work great. They come in handy when my giant female T. stirmi does not want me to clean her heavy water dish.

Ebay. I got a set of 16" hemostats for like $15.

I use 2 pairs of tongs, 4" for my slings/juvies and 10" for OW/NW adults, works well, bought 4" from (pets at home) and 10" from strictly-exotics. but as said you can find them online or even a local Lps, most sell different sizes.

http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/reptile-husbandry-tools/-/18-tweezers/ For 13 bucks, I should buy a set, too! I'm using toothless medical hemostats that were going to be sent for scrap, but I'm not a fan of the handles. Would rather have the tweeze "pinch" feel in my hands

5 bucks? SCORE! =)

My mother is a nurse and I got her to grab me a pair of hemostats while at work(with her bosses permission of course)

 

[spiiderwebb]

18+ inches are hard to find in regular pet stores, at least where I'm at. I could only find a 10 inch long pair at a local Petco, and since both of my T's are rather docile, they worked just fine for me.

18+ inch pairs I would imagine, would be easier to find online on a site specifically for reptiles.

 

[prairiepanda]

You can get some pretty long hemostats, but I prefer forceps so I can feel how much pressure I'm applying. Bioquip has various sizes of forceps, including 20" ones (click!)

Medical supply stores will carry long tweezers/tongs. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C8T92?tag=exoticcom-20&creativeASIN=B0000C8T92
