These are long and easy to grab crickets with. My Leo is getting older and not as fast as she used to be. She doesn't like mealworms and won't eat crickets that aren't moving, so these have helped to feed her.

These are great, sturdy to grab but not too tight when you drop it in the cage since you can't hold on to it like others. It is the perfect feeding tool for reptiles (i myself have a leopard gecko) and these are now my go toos anytime I need to feed him.

Our dragon has been in hibernation mode so when he does wake up to eat he can be a bit aggressive. These feeder tongs are perfect for those times. His bites don’t hurt, but I’d rather avoid it if I can, plus bug are not my thing.

These are nothing fancy but get the job done. That are smooth and sleek looking and fit well in the hand but given I'm using these while sticking my hands in and out of an aquarium I would love if there was a textured grip. There's a bit of texture on the inside ends of the tongs to grip the plants which is nice. They're a decent length, long enough for smaller aquariums but not so long they're unwieldy though having them just a bit longer would be nice for those of us with larger aquariums. They look nice with the black coating but this doesn't prevent the stainless steel from rusting with enough exposure to moisture, you have to be sure to wipe them dry after every use. I found rust primarily formed in the joint after prolonged exposure. They have a nice weight, not too heavy and the curved end allows you to either place plants with more precision or burrow them in deep. Overall I think they're a nice pair of tongs that will get the job done for a fair price, just be aware that top much exposure to moisture can cause rusting in the long run.
