I learned my lesson and later that day (2 days ago) i picked up 10in long Zoo med feeding tongs
LOL, dont feel too bad, i used that type of tongs the very first time i fed my snake - or tried to feed him - at that point i didn't know that a snake deep in shed and in a new home for all of 1 day wouldn't eat, so the feeding tong choice was the least of my mistakes!
