Model 315 is a 42" standard snake tong. Tongs are an effective reptile handling tool that can be used as an extension of your arm for just about anything. Our tongs are state of the art, light weight, strong and durable, designed to give maximum holding pressure with minimal risk to you and the reptile. The handle grip commands a steel cable which activates the jaws. This provides the handler with a precise feel of pressure being applied to the reptile.
Good set of tongs at a reasonable price. Solid construction and reliable performance. I have relocated a number of venomous and non venomous snakes with these and am very satisfied!
Are the Tomahawk 315 42 Standard Snake Tongs humane?
Hello,
I am looking to get my brother some snake tongs for Christmas. He is a nature photographer who handles rattle snakes often and even poses them for pictures (so he is not scared of them) but has admitted that sometimes snake tongs would come in handy when trying to handle them. He needs some that are gentle and humane, is there any snake tongs that would not hurt the snake? Also some of the snakes are quit large and I don't know if the size of the snake would make a difference in the tongs as well. Any advice would be appreciated, Thank You.
