I wasn't jumping on anybody's back; I recounted personal experience where tong feeding caused an injury. I kept various reptiles for 15 years, so I wouldn't say I was inexperienced or 'didn't understand' how to tong feed. I *had* tong fed my Leo successfully (along with my Tokay's, Day geckos among other herps) numerous times without incident; until the one time it was a failure....all it takes is that ONE time that it doesn't go 'smoothly' and you have a problem....THAT is exactly what risk is.
