Feeding Tongs
Angled stainless tongs for offering food safely, with your hand out of the way. Kinder on your fingers and safer with a snappy feeder.

Our take
Feeding by hand teaches a reptile that hands mean food, which is how keepers get bitten, and it risks a snake or monitor mistaking a finger for a meal. Tongs put a safe distance between you and the business end, let you offer thawed prey or wriggle a worm to trigger a feeding response, and keep things hygienic. The soft, angled tips are gentler on the animal's mouth than sharp forceps. A small tool that makes feeding safer for both of you.
