Message: <blockquote data-quote="jtrux" data-source="post: 2756" data-attributes="member: 388">I'll get involved.  I look at it like this, whether tongs will cause harm or not is one thing but I simply don't have time to sit there and dangle crickets or whatever in front of each T until it eats.  Some of my T's would probably eat from tongs because they tend to be aggressive feeders but a few of mine are shy and they need to be left alone to eat.  As far as the argument goes about tongs harming the T's fangs or not, why would you risk it?  It's like playing in traffic, you might get hit and you might not but are you gonna risk it?</blockquote>
