    One of each depending on the snake. For the babies, i use hemostats but for the big snakes, i use tongs as hemostats dont really work well with holding a guinea pig or rabbit lol. For a BP, i would just use hemostats.

    Thanks for the reply!
    What size hemostats do you suggest for an adult male BP? 10 inch? 12?

    I use 12 inch tweezers. It's what I am used so I guess it depends on what you are comfortable with.

    Yeah, I’ve heard of people using those, but I think they’re a little too big for a BP xD
