Yeah leave it to me to do things at the last minute lol
Thankyou Christina

Yes we are looking into purchasing some to sell at the 17th expo but we want to know if it is worth to ship them up.
So the more the response the better the idea we have on what decision to make

It would kind of depend on the price. Medical quality hemostats can be pricey and most people can simply chuck the feeder in the bin.

The hemostat are not absolutely needed my herpers, they are more a luxury item (the luxury of not losing your fingers, LOL)

I say it completely depends on the price, if its cheap people will buy. but I am not sure you will make a great amount of profit.

my 2 cents.

Cya at the show.

Ya, if they are cheep then they should sell. I just got some extra long needle nose plyers from Wal-mart for $5.

Point is...they are usefull but not required. If they are ecconomical then OK but if not..well.....

I can completely understand the necessity of affordability!
As fellow herpers and beginning in our own business that is one aspect that we are quite aware of.
We are thinking on pricing the 18" around 35.00 and the 24" around 45.00
Yes they are good quality wouldnt have it any other way it is our business rep at stake.
CRANWILL: They are scissor like with a tweezer type end on it that is textured to grip.
The benefit of using hemostats is NOT getting BIT!

Try feeding my 6 foot Jungle or 7 foot BRB without hemostats and then tell me they are luxury items.

I use 1 pair of stats with a home made foam tip to use with the invertibrates, tease feeding is done with a pair of long field collector tongs, mostly they don't need me to hold it for them lol

Yes System you probably can but we have to consider rate exchange, shipping, duty fees and taxes. This effects the Canadian market.
