HELP: He bit the feeding tongs!

[Dracoluna]

First off, calm down. Is he moving around, tongue flicking, and is his jaw in a natural position? If so, you probably just scared him by spraying him when he thought he was getting dinner. Chances are he's fine and just a little put off by the evening's events. Next time, don't try prying, etc if he catches the tongs. Be patient with him and see if he releases on his own. You risk broken teeth and other issues by trying to force him to let go. After the initial squeeze maneuver they will typically loosen up and realign their prey. Wait for that and slowly pull the tongs back.

Agreed on the tongs. The ones sho linked are perfect.
