Ball tipped is the way to go. I like to be able to lube w/K.Y. and then spin them as I push them in and that way I know they bottom out with the least chance to puncture the delicate membrain inside the base of the tail...

I sometimes backoff halfway in as you can feel resistance if the males hemepines are in the way. It is very easy once you get the feel for it.

Also, I always check both sides to make sure it isnt a male that has had the inside membrain perforated..

Whoever you get them from make sure you get more then one set. I've got three sets at home somewhere and I still can't ever find them when I need them.

Like Robyn said - LLL Reptile! That's where I got mine a couple years ago and I'm still usin em.

thanks for all you advice on the subject i liked the idea of purchasing more than one because i already have 4-5 feeding thongs that i can never find even though i feed all the time.
