			If you could only afford one set of snake tongs for every purpose, what length and manufacturer would you select??

			I still prefer the old original Whitney tongs to anything on the market currently.  The length I use most is the 40" set.  I have two sets of these old reliable tools and I like their weight and balance.  I pad them with urethane adhesive door weatherstrip material.
 
 If I were purchasing a set today, I would probably go with the Midwest Gentle Giant design in a 40" length.
 
 I do not like the Pilstrom style tongs for snake manipulation.  They are, however, fine for cage maintenance and prey presentation.
 
 Regards,

			I would have to say 40" Gentle Giant tongs as well.  That is one stout piece of equipment.  I'm sure mine will outlast me and I'm only 33.
