tong recommenmdations for feeding

[mschemmy]

Does anyone have a recommendations for good tongs for feeding? I am looking for maximum length and easy to hold prey when feeding.

I use this guy. These are a set with curved and straight at 15 inches long for all your distancing needs!

I didn't even think to check amazon. Those look perfect! Thanks!

Amazon/eBay, I use 10" straight and curved tongs for my larger Ts and some 4" straight ones for feeding slings (just because they make it easier to pick up pinhead roaches without completely obliterating them)

If you want soft tips to protect fangs, I'd recommend ones with rubber-dipped tips, not bamboo ones.. the bamboo ones I tried were not easy to grab things with, the tips were too fat because it's weak, and they broke quite fast, think I stepped on them or something.

I have bamboo ones that are fairly strong, but I sanded down the "grabbers" to be thinner, as I found them way too bulky, too.

None. Tong feeding is an unnecessary risk to the Tarantula.

Tongs are best for dropping the food item into the enclosure. They don't need to be tong-fed, they are perfectly capable of hunting on their own. Besides, you'd be robbing yourself of the natural behaviors. Observing a tarantula stalking a cricket is great entertainment... at least for me
