Nope they bite and release.Now a bite from a retic is painfull(it was a baby) because of how there teeth curve back some .
Re: Can metal tongs be dangerous?
I used a metal tongs with rubber caps over the tips (~2.5"). It's the first thing I came across when I was shopping for snake supplies way back when, and they work wonderfully.

Not when they're in feed mode they don't just release!
Re: Can metal tongs be dangerous?
When we fed f/t mice/rats we just grasped the rodent well back from it's shoulders by the loose skin there with our hemostats. Once the snake hit we let go. Sure they might smack the tongs/hemostats occasionally but let's remember they aren't made of spun glass so it's not likely going to do any great damage I would think in the vast majority of cases.
