Own any high dollar specimens? Use implantable AVID microchips to permanently and secretly mark them for life!

American Veterinary Identification Devices (AVID) are injectable electronic identification systems for use in animal identification. The microchip is a tiny computer chip that has a preset number programmed into it. It is encapsulated within a non-allergenic, biocompatible material that is small enough to fit inside of a hypodermic needle. It can then be injected under the skin of a reptile, where it will stay for the life of the animal. Once injected, a chip will last for decades. This provides a permanent, positive i.d. that cannot be lost, altered or intentionally removed - a safe, simple and inexpensive way to protect your pet against loss or theft. This system could also be utilized in tracking various individual reptiles in a given research area.

By popular demand, we are proud to introduce a collapsible version of our #1 rated Gentle Giant Tongs. Years of experience and cooperation with some of the world's most recognized snake handling professionals resulted in this revolutionary new tool. You will be amazed by the stylish appearance and flawless performance of this innovative new tool. Compact enough to fit in a suitcase when folded, and stronger than ever in its fully extended form when handling snakes. We kept all the features of regular Gentle Giant Tongs - aircraft grade materials, light in weight, and a wide gentle clamp that spreads out the pressure over the snake's body without causing injury.

In its collapsed form the tong is very comfortable for personal carry. It can be carried on your belt and it unfolds in seconds. Belt Sheath not included.

Check out the experience of Mark O'Shea from Animal Planet who tested this tools in field conditions.
