Hi all! Hope everyone has a great New Years Eve! Anyway, back to the question. I was feeding my big girl last night, the one I posted needed some weight, she eats F/T with gusto. I had the weaned rat on the end of the metal tongs, and as she struck, I swear she missed and hit the tongs instead. Well it freaked me out, because she hit them pretty hard. Fearing the metal tongs might injure her, I used my skimpy wooden ones, and she got it ok with those. Just wondering if anyone has had a snake injured with metal tongs when they struck. I hear they make them with a rubber tip, if they do, I think I will invest in those.
