Hello,

My wife just got a job on the UNLV campus as the animal caretaker for the muesum. They have a Gila on display and I was wondering if it was ok or recommended to handle him bare handed. The girl who is training her is teaching my wife to handle him bare handed. I have dealt with hot snakes but never a hot lizard and would never handle a hot snake bare handed. I do not trust the person training my wife 0.00 after hearing some of there snake husbandry techniques.

Ken
