Hey guys. So here's my question/topic...
Does anyone use tongs to feed their leopard gecko? For years I used tongs to feed my snakes to simulate live food.
I have been using tongs to handle crickets and mealworms so I don't get my scent on the food I feed along with I feel it's easier to put feeders in the tank with my tongs.
Wondering if there is any negative side or cons to using tongs. I will even use them to wiggle a cricket that's missing legs or looks like its about to die and my gecko will attack.
Short story: I wish I had video taped this. Annie attacked this cricket and got a hold of its back leg which fell off. On attempt 2 she got the other leg. Now the cricket had no back legs. She went for attempt 3 and missed. Attempt 4 she got a hold of it and then dropped it because she killed it and it stopped moving. She was bored and moved on to the next live cricket.
