gloves are overkill.

Definitely need to be able to feel well and bend well.

One of the mean ones I had used to hiss and strike through the cage every time he saw me. So, I put on my gloves, picked him up and wouldn't put him back until he calmed down. Sometimes I was picking him up every few minutes...but, eventually he stopped hissing and striking through the glass...he then just saved it for the camera. I was most concerned with his smacking his head on the cage trying to tag me...that's why I was so determined to stop that from happening. And no, I wasn't willing to cover the enclosure up (though I did try it a couple of times and you could still hear him hissing when he heard me) because I always look into every cage when I make my walk-throughs and didn't like not being able to see an animal. I'm just pleased my determination won out over his own.
