FAQs

Are these safe for all reptiles?

Yes, the soft-coated tips are specifically designed to be safe for a wide variety of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

Can I use these for heavy items?

These are intended for feeding live or canned insects; they are not designed to lift heavy decor or large objects.

How should I store them?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a holder that keeps the tips protected.

Can I sterilize them with boiling water?

While the stainless steel can handle heat, boiling may damage the soft-coated tips. Use a pet-safe disinfectant instead.

Is the 30cm length too long for smaller tanks?

It may be cumbersome in very small enclosures, but the length is generally beneficial as it keeps your hands away from the pet's space.

Troubleshooting

Tweezers losing their grip on insects

Clean the soft-coated tips to remove insect debris or oils, and check that the metal arms have not been bent outward by excessive pressure.

Rust or discoloration on the metal

Use a stainless steel cleaner or a mild abrasive pad to remove surface deposits, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These tweezers require no setup; they are ready to use immediately. For compatibility, they are suitable for most small-to-medium reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, ranging from tarantulas to chameleons.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wash with warm water and a mild, pet-safe disinfectant after every feeding.
  2. Ensure the tweezers are completely dry before storage to maintain the longevity of the metal.
  3. Periodically check the soft-coated tips for signs of wear or cracking; if the coating peels, it is time to replace the tweezers to ensure the safety of your animal.
