Free Hemostats (Merry Christmas to the members)

[guidofatherof5]

The hemostat gods have blessed me with an over abundant supply of these. They are great for feeding garters. If you would like a pair or two for free simply PM me your name and address and I'll get them out to you. Merry Christmas from the T.radix Ranch.

You are truly blessed. I'd love a god of scientific instruments to shower me with instruments.
I wouldn't ask you to post them internationally though, postage would outweigh the value of the haemostats.

[guidofatherof5]

I'll send a couple your way Chris. Leamington Rd, correct?

[Eddie]

Steve you are a hell of a nice guy!!
Happy holidays to you and yours!!

[guidofatherof5]

Bump. Many still available.
Call in the next 20 minutes and I'll double the order. That's right, and you don't have to pay separate shipping and handling.:D

[guidofatherof5]

The hemostats are flying off the shelves but there are many still in stock.
Thanks you to everyone who has requested them. I'm glad to get them out to my forum friends.

[infernalis]

I would like to take a moment to say this publicly.

Steve, you are one heck of a stand up kind of guy. Anyone who has the pleasure of coming into contact with you is extremely lucky, the whole world would be a far better place with more people like you in it.

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Agreed!

Kind Sir,

I would be delighted to receive a pair of hemostats that you have so kindly and graciously offered.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

[guidofatherof5]

Well, I won't be shipping after all. Just found out shipping one pair to the U.K. will cost $44.00

Sorry Will and Chris. I had no idea rates had increased so much. Please accept my apology.

[Floof]

Received my hemostats today... Thank you so much again, Steve!!! They'll go to excellent use here. (Weehee, the big snakes get their hemostats back!)

[infernalis]

What?? thats lunacy... (not you Steve, the couriers)

[slipknot711]

i cant wait to get mine! i think itll be able to help me get an even closer bond to my girl :)

[guidofatherof5]

Michelle, Chris and Will your hemostats are one the way. I went to the post office today and found it was going to be much cheaper to ship. It was also easier today as the employees were not in the mood to do the international paperwork so they pushed them through as a letter.;)
It was a good day at the Post Office. That's the first time I've ever said that.:D

[Mommy2many]

I never had a good day at the post office and I worked there... Oh, maybe that's the problem with me :)

[ssssnakeluvr]

Hey Steve! if there's any left I would be interested

[guidofatherof5]

I'll get them out in Monday's post Don.

[guidofatherof5]

I'll get them out in Monday's post Don.

Dropped them off at the local grocery store post office this morning. Enjoy.

[guidofatherof5]

Glad they are working out for you.

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Got mine today! Thanks again steve! I hope you have a very merry christmas!

[GarterGuy17]

Are there still any left ? These would be very helpful since I'm using aspen :o

[guidofatherof5]

Yes, plenty.
PM your name and address.

[guidofatherof5]

Thank you to everyone who requested some hemostats. I'm honored to help.

[ConcinusMan]

When you're feeding them with hemostats instead of say, putting their food on a dish, they learn to associate the hand (and hemostats of course) with food. Makes for very tame snakes that come right to your hand, especially if you don't mess with them other than to feed them. The popular thinking is that regular handling is what will make your snake tame but the opposite is true. My snakes are hand tame and come to my hand because I DON'T handle them or mess with them unless it's to feed them and then I feed them with my fingers or hemostats. Now they think hand = food = good thing, so go to it, instead of hand = bothering/molesting me = so run and hide. The result? see for yourself...

Hey Steve, can you send me 2 pairs? I would like to have an extra and give one to my friend who has the bearded dragon.

[Spankenstyne]

Very nice what you've done here, but not surprising considering how giving you've always been.

[guidofatherof5]

My mom(R.I.P.) taught me to be giving. She was a good mother.

[GarterGuy17]

I think the ones you sent me got lost in the mail or something , but who knows might just be the holidays.

[guidofatherof5]

Give it another day, I'll resend if needed.

[chris-uk]

Steve's stash of haemostats found there way across the Atlantic. Cheers Steve. :-)

[guidofatherof5]

Let me know if you need more, Chris.

[guidofatherof5]

Christmas may be over but I have plenty of them left. Don't be shy. just pm me a name and address and I'll send them out.

[SSSSnakes]

Thank you Steve. I just received my 2 pairs today. Who says you can't get something for free. I did not even have to pay for shipping. There are still nice people still around.

[guidofatherof5]

Glad they arrived. ;)

[GarterGuy17]

Mine must be stuck in limbo somewhere haha how much is the shipping ? I'll pay this time around :)

[guidofatherof5]

Send me your address again in a PM so I can check my records. The postage is minimal and I'll take care of it.

[ConcinusMan]

One thing I learned a while back the hard way.... When mailing to a foreign address such as Canada, unless it's just a flat paper envelope / regular letter, such as a case where you would put a few pairs of these in a padded envelope, you gotta pay much higher parcel rates for postage AND fill out a customs form and it has to go through customs. Half the time I go ahead and pay it and do that, it never makes it to the destination or it takes 4-8 weeks in transit.

If you can still spare them Steve, I could use 2 more pair or at least one. I want separate feeding untensils for my new kingsnakes and/or snakes in quarantine, and keep the other pairs I already have, just for my garters. I have to wash my hands as it is because if I've been touching a garter and then I get near the kings, they think my fingers are food and take a keen interest in them while licking their lips and drooling hungrily lol. And the mussies (clelia clelia) I'm keeping for another month or so..., well, they're venomous snake eaters that can smell another snake a mile away and they have a wicked feeding response so that can be a bit dangerous and or very painful lol... more hemostats won't go to waste around here that's for sure.

[GarterGuy17]

I actually think I got em in today. I received a package this morning but I couldnt open it since I was in a rush to get to work

[Invisible Snake]

Can I get a pair Please :)

[guidofatherof5]

Can I get a pair Please :)

Yes you can.
Going out in tomorrows mail.

[guidofatherof5]

I've sent out a lot of hemostats and am glad to do it. If you requested some and haven't received them send me another pm and I'll check my records. I hope I haven't forgotten someone.

[EasternGirl]

Luckily, now that I am in nursing, I have access to hemostats galore...lol. But I think it is wonderful for you to share with the members. A very typical kind Steve gesture :)

[guidofatherof5]

I thought I had figured out a way to get hemostats across the pond at a reasonable price and it did work for a while. Some of those envelopes were delivered but damaged. Some were returned to me damaged as the machine reading them can't handle the contents. I visited the post office yesterday and was informed that my way wasn't going to work and that I would have to send them out as a package and thus have to fill out the Custom's forms. This also tripled the cost. I hope many of my overseas friends got there hemostats.
This also means I can't use my cardboard mails to ship locally so it's back to bubble mailer for me.

[CrazyHedgehog]

It is the thought that counts!
Thank you very much for trying!
:)

[gregmonsta]

I got hemo-statted today mate ;), thanks again.

[guidofatherof5]

How was the envelope condition?

[gregmonsta]

Envelope was perfectly fine :rolleyes:

[ConcinusMan]

Could have warned you about that one. Anything that isn't just a flat envelope with paper in it going overseas, you can't just slap a stamp in it and mail it. Live and learn.


I can't use my cardboard mails to ship locally so it's back to bubble mailer for me.

Anything with a rigid object in it that can't go through the sorting machines has to mail as a parcel, yes. These include padded envelopes. And mailing like that costs more because they are sorted by hand. If you can't take the envelope and spindle it around a pencil, then it can't go through a sorting machine. You have to send as a parcel (costs more in postage) so it won't be put through a sorting machine like a regular letter would be. It might have worked for you sometimes because depending on where it needs to be sorted, they may or may not even have sorting machines. Some places still do all the sorting by hand. When you mailed them to me, they got sorted by hand. You can always tell when they got sorted by hand. They arrive without those weird lines at the bottom, and the stamps are cancelled by a hand stamper. When you mailed mine, whoever sorted it by hand forgot to cancel the stamps, they were still good.

[Rcortese211]

Still have any left?

[guidofatherof5]

Today the hemostat god's were good to me.
Which means I will once again offer to forum members a pair of free hemostats.
All I need is your name and address and I'll get them out to you.(send a PM) I can only offer these to U.S. members due to the paperwork(Custom's Forms) and cost involved in shipping outside the country. SORRY.

Another big batch of haemostats? You really should consider setting up a medical supply company.
