    www.tongs.com

    They're local to me and I just drive up there and pick what I need up.

    Quality stuff

    www.reptiledirect.com or www.bigappleherp.com maybe Petco or Petsmart. Usually most stores do not carry them, online may be your best bet, unless you have to time to shop around.

    I'd check surplus places I have found hemostats quite often and cheap too. Here is the last ones I bought.

    PS they hold much better than the over sized tweezer style ones.

    if there is a petco or really any pet store near you that carries zoo medthey should have the zoo med tongs, i know they come in a couple of different sizes i just go the ten inch ones and they are very sturdy they look justy like big tweezers. check the zoo med website.

    Big Apple Herp has 3 sizes of Hemostats, those are what I use for feeding. I have the big 24" ones, and some smaller 10 inch ones.

    If you're in the north-west, www.beanfarm.com has quality stuff, based out of WA. I get everything from them.

    Re: feeding tongs

    I got 12" Hemostats on Amazon for $3.99. I don't see any on there at that price anymore. $7.49 or so is about the cheapest I see right now.
