    Tongs are a very bad idea.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Re: so I was visiting someone yesterday evening.

    I hate to hear things like this because then my wheels get spinning along these lines.... I know we all love garters (and our other pets), and we all are aware of or hope that garters stay low key to the other snake keepers out there (more for us ). But just getting on the forum we see everyday that X amount of members are on with XXX amount of guests. So for all of us that care for our snakes, take the time to learn the correct way to do things, etc. How many people are out there (tong users) doing things wrong at the expense of the animal . I can only hope that, and I know this forum does, change some bad care for whatever the reasons into good care for those that seek it out. For those that don't..... I hope somebody picks them up with a pair of tongs.
