I found them on one website but they're a whole set. I only need like one. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Ryan.

Tongs.com might. If not you could always use a tight fitting pvc pipe. But the down side to that is the snake could wiggle out and you would't be able to see his or her head.

on Tongs.com. They look good but since I only need one, I'd rather not pay $40 for the whole set. Thanks for the info though. I also thought about the PVC idea but realize the same disadvantage too. I don't like the idea of not being able to see inside.

Midwest Tongs sell them. I don't know anyone that sells them individually. They are sold in sets. They aren't that expensive. Might as well go ahead & get them. You may later on be glad you did. You know reptiles are addictive.

I know what. Go ahead & get the set. You could sell off the ones you don't need to the neighborhood kids as giant spitwad shooters. LOL Make your money back.
Just kidding. HeHeHe

That might be what I have to do. By the way, I've been keeping snakes for about 18 of my 24 years. I'm not exactly just getting prepared for my first animal. The only hots I'm really into and MUST keep are copperheads. And it actually just dawned on me yesterday, after having various coppers consistently for 4 years now, that I should get one of those tubes so I could handle them a little more closely. I'd love to have some of the vipers and maybe even a cobra or 2 but I have 3 young kids and actually pretty limited venomous experience, (I mean, really how hard is it to deal with copperheads?) so they'll have to wait a few more years.

It sounds like the tubes may be a good investment for you. And it's nice to have different sizes. My small snakes could turn around in the larger ones, and my larger snakes would be stuck in the little ones. You wouldn't think that there would be that much difference, but there is.
If all else fails, there's always the spitwad shooters. LOL

Lowes has some thick clear plastic tubing that they sell in different diameters pretty cheap. Just use your imagination and plug one end and it should work fine.
