Midwest Gentle Giant

NEW 52" Snake Handling Tong

A premium snake handling tong for the hobbyist or Pro

Strong, lightweight aluminum tubing - comfortable cast aluminum handle - extra wide, rubber-coated jaw

Gentle Giant 52 inch Tong - Made for the most humane handling of snakes!

· triple rubber coated top jaw creates drag on top of the snake’s body for secure holding
· lower jaw is polished which creates a smooth surface, reducing snake’s ability of forward motion
· constructed of blue aircraft grade aluminum tubing featuring a concealed (non-visible) stainless steel cable and spring

Test results have shown that the Gentle Giant’s 2 ¼ inch wide jaws eliminate stress in many situations, allowing the animals to be handled in a more relaxed state compared to other tongs currently available in the reptile industry. Some species that react radically to capture by regular tongs have proven to be less combative when restrained by the Gentle Giant Tongs™.

Extra Wide Jaws
The 2 ¼ inch wide gentle grip disperses pressure over a greater surface area of the snake’s body, eliminating the possibility of direct pressure between individual ribs, and reducing the risk of muscular or skeletal injury. A wider, more gentle jaw allows faster gripping which is a great advantage when handling or capturing species of water snakes and tree dwelling snakes which are notoriously fast and difficult to restrain, lessening the chance of injury or escape.

Please use common sense when handling venomous snakes. Use a tong with sufficient shaft length for the animal you're working with.
