Take the stress out of feeding time and keep your hands safely out of strike range. Crafted from durable stainless steel with ergonomic scissor-style grips, these extra-long feeding tongs provide precision control when offering live insects, thawed rodents, or canned diets in tall, densely planted enclosures.

The scissor-action handle eliminates the hand fatigue of stiff pinch-tweezers, while serrated jaws lock onto prey securely so food never gets accidentally dropped into bioactive substrate.

Key Features

Effortless Scissor Action: Ergonomic PP-molded finger loops provide smooth leverage and precise grip tension without tiring your hands during multi-pet feeding sessions.
Extended Reach & Safety: Generous lengths from 11.6 to 20.5 inches keep your fingers safely away from enthusiastic strikers, defensive reptiles, and biting feeder insects.
Serrated Anti-Slip Jaws: Deeply grooved inner teeth ensure a firm, slip-free hold on wiggly live prey, thawed rodents, or prepared diet chunks.
Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel: Non-porous metal withstands high terrarium humidity without rusting and rinses clean effortlessly.
Multi-Purpose Terrarium Tool: Perfect for target-feeding, clearing shed or debris, arranging plants, and retrieving items from hard-to-reach hardscape nooks.

Keeper Tips

Grip thawed rodents across the torso or rump rather than the head to present a natural strike target for your snake.
Sanitize stainless steel tips with a reptile-safe disinfectant or hot soapy water between enclosures to avoid cross-contamination.
When feeding quick-striking species, maintain a light grip on the finger loops to release the prey immediately upon impact, protecting the animal's mouth and teeth.

Style & Tip Guide

Straight Tip (11.6", 15", 20.5" / 30 cm, 38 cm, 53 cm)

Direct-Line Target Feeding: Best for offering crickets, dubia roaches, and hornworms directly in front of diurnal lizards like bearded dragons and chameleons.
Planting & Debris Removal: Functions as an extended grabber to position live plants or pluck molts and dropped leaves from tight spaces in bioactive setups.

Curved / Bowed Loop Tip (15", 20.5" / 38 cm, 53 cm)

Rodent Cradling: The wide oval cutout clamps gently around the midsection of thawed mice or rats without puncturing prey items.
Navigating Hardscape: Allows you to feed shy arboreal species tucked behind cork tubes or foliage without reaching at an awkward angle.
