$ 79.95
Made for the most humane handling of snakes!
Triple rubber coated top jaw creates drag on top of the snake’s body for secure holding
Lower jaw is polished which creates a smooth surface, reducing snake’s ability of forward motion.
Constructed of blue aircraft grade aluminum tubing featuring a concealed (non visible) stainless steel cable and spring
  Test results have shown that the Gentle Giant’s 2 ¼" wide jaws eliminate stress in many situations, allowing the animals to be handled in a more relaxed state compared to other tongs currently available in the reptile industry. Some species that react radically to capture by regular tongs have proven to be less combative when restrained by the Gentle Giant Tongs™.

Extra Wide Jaws
  The 2 ¼" wide gentle grip disperses pressure over a greater surface area of the snake’s body, eliminating the possibility of direct pressure between individual ribs, and reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injury. A wider, more gentle jaw allows faster gripping which is a great advantage when handling or capturing species of water snakes and tree dwelling snakes which are notoriously fast and difficult to restrain, lessening the chance of injury or escape.

  Weighing in at just under 1 ounce, the Mini Hook has a textured rubber grip that can double as a casual pinner for non-venomous snakes. An attractive anodized red shaft and black hook makes this precision tool pleasing to the eye as well as the hand. The Midwest Mini should be an extremely popular choice for home and professional use. Used with snakes 1 pound or under.

 $ 59.95
  Professionals and amateurs alike have used the standard Pinkie Press for many years with great success. When you have a small reptile that won’t eat, you need to be able to supplement its nutrition without causing undue stress. "Stuffing a pinky down its throat" is very stressful on the reptile, increases handling time, and can cause it to develop an aversion to eating rodents, making the problem worse. By using a Pinkie Press, you can be assured that a measured amount of nutrition has been administered, in the least stressful manner.
