Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was curious if I could pick your brain sometime off the forum about kings, I know you've kept quite a few of them so I figured you might have some insight to keep me from reinventing the wheel so to speak. I saw and enjoyed your artile in the last Reptiles mag. Good meeting you at IHS, are you gonna be at the ETHS coming up?

It was a very good article that Terry wrote in Reptiles Mag.
However, I thought it was funny that he reccomended Midwest Tongs in the article, when 6 out of 8 or so photo's, showed Mighty Midget tongs! Which is my equiptment! LOL!

Overall, a very good article with timely up to date info.

Randal, do you sell the Mighty Midget Tongs? IF those are the same ones I am thinking of, they work fairly well with fast moving elapids and I haven't been able to find any.

Thanks,

Bobby,
Ya, feel free to send me an email at

I'd be happy to BS for a while, it was good meeting you too..

Randal, I didn't know you sell those, do you actually have them in stock? I bought that pair from Glades and can't get anymore. They are great for picking up shed skin etc... I don't use tongs on any of the snakes... It's funny you noticed that, I actually thought everybody would notice that I make my own snake hooks and other equipment...I recomended Midwest, because I do like the equipment except for the fact that all the snake hooks for sale by any company look like somebody stepped on them... I only use an "L" hook, much easier.
Anyway, good eye and thanks for pointing it out to everybody

Do you make the tongs? If so, can I get you to make some for me that are slightly different?
