Features: Collapsible Design Wide Serrated Jaw 43-59 in from Handle to Jaw Hollow Light Weight Aluminum Tube Shaft Spring-Loaded Jaw for Precise Pressure Flashlight allow use this snake tongs on night Application to: - At Midwest - Go camping - Have pet reptiles - Handle various reptiles - Live by a forest/park/lake - Herpetoculture Professional - The people have unwanted snakes or reptiles but don't want to harm them - Pick-up Tool Packing Include: 1x Snake Tongs(pinzas de serpientes ) 1x Flashlight Holder 1x Flashlight(Without Battery) Review: Good weight vs. sturdiness, seems to be well designed & manufactured - Considered the cheaper models of this tool after finding a rattlesnake about 2ft from my face at night. Glad I chose this model due to its length & adjustability and grip/teeth design and construction. Also, for the already-designed flashlight and holder. It's not a high quality flashlight, but you could add a better one if you wanted to. I don't plan on using this very often, but it will be a lifesaver when I do (quite literally). It's quite a bit more ~2x than I wanted to spend on this (due to the low number of times I will likely need to use it), but it will be great to take camping/hunting, as well, for a camp tool to keep the area safe for humans and the snakes. It can also be used for picking up dead critters other than snakes as long as they aren't too heavy. The complaints about the tool being 'too heavy' are surprising to me based on this item's weight vs. its length and adjustability. It is likely a fair bit heavier than one that does not extend/collapse, it has a nice lock feature built into the handle, and one last thing to address regarding complaints about the grip force and 'jaws'. The jaws are more aggressive than a lot of models, but the radiused features are designed to increase the ability to grip objects/snakes more substantially than most other designs I saw. I'm more of a fan of human safety than a dangerous snake's injuries, so I prefer this jaw design. It should be noted that the edges of the stainless steel are deburred, so they won't cut into a snake unless you squeeze the handle too hard, which isn't necessary. You can vary the amount of force the jaws impart on the snake or critter, and you can adjust the jaws to where it doesn't even clamp onto the object. Rather, you can use it to 'hang' an object without even clamping it. The clamping force is well designed, enough to hurt your finger if you grip it tightly, but enough that clamping it down hard on your foot doesn't hurt. Basically, you can vary the grip force to match any situation you need. Someone complained that it 'clamps too hard'...then don't clamp the grip strenuously and it won't clamp the jaws down very hard. The last thing I can say is that the length is paramount for adjustability. At the full length where I plan to use it for a 3-5ft rattlesnake, I can pick up a 2.5 lb weight with it as long as you use a 2nd hand roughly supporting it about 1ft down the pole without a problem. I picked up a 10 lb weight as well, and it's doable, just takes a more intense grip on your support hand. If you're a small-framed person or have weak arms/hands, you can simple move your hand further out and still be at a relatively safe distance from the snake. Consider the fact that the majority of these snake grippers are only offered at the smallest length this unit collapses down to. The mechanism to extend or collapse the length is well designed and convenient/easy to operate, but secure when it engages. Highly recommend this model of variable length and grip/lock design, as well as the provisions for a flashlight mount and flashlight. I thought it was hilarious that the hardware, allen wrench and flashlight mount came in a USB cable/adapter package...doesn't make sense, but it works, Lol. Great design & good manufacturing. If you're worried about the price, consider the cost of an emergency room visit if you use a shorter design or if the snake slips through the jaws before you're able to get out of the way or re-grip it and get bit. Get a 5-gallon bucket with a locking lid and you can take the snake a few miles away. At least for rattlesnakes they say to take it no more than about 3 miles away from where you found it or it will most likely die. Review: Great catcher tongs - Catcher tongs work very well; caught 2 rat snakes already that were killing my chicks. The little flashlight is not reliable (one catch was at night); but the tongs themselves did the job with ease.

The little flashlight is not reliable (one catch was at night); but the tongs themselves did the job with ease. Very easy to operate. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Tongs for rattlers *by T***L on 31 August 2023* I have seen a lot of comments about these being pricey, what's pricier, getting bit by a venomous snake or buying quality snake tongs? I am tasked with removal and relocation of the rattlers we have here at work (landfill out west) and these are excellent value for money. They work well, are adjustable and just all around great tongs. I have a set of snake buckle lids I bought off of amazon and they work equally as well when paired with my Home Depot/Lowes buckets. I have moved relocated many a rattlers with these and love them. Oh, if any of you think these are overpriced, google professional snake tongs..prices range from the price of these into the mid $100's. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smarkey Snake Catcher Tongs Grabber Rattle Heavy Duty with 43 inch to 59 inch Telescopic Pole - RAPICCA Animal Handling Gloves Bite Proof Reinforced Leather Padding Dog,Cat Scratch,Bird Handling Falconry Gloves Grabbing,Reptile Squirrel Snake Bite 22in Grey-Black - Smarkey Snake Catcher Net, Rattlesnake Grabber Hnadling Tool, Reptile Catch Telescopic Pole Stick, Rattle Snake Removing and Catching Picker with 12" Ring, Extends to 40 Inches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/391270494-snake-catcher-tongs-grabber-rattle-heavy-duty](https://www.desertcart.us/products/391270494-snake-catcher-tongs-grabber-rattle-heavy-duty) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
