I really do not know what to say, other then, when hes an adult, he will crush your fingers in the glove. With albigs, its not the teeth thats the problem, its their jaw strenght.

Also, why know just learn to read you monitors, they really are easy to read. And keep your hands away from the sharp areas/and crushing for albigs.

I do not wear gloves, because I need to feel the monitor. With gloves, you lose control. With gloves you will end up taking them off an on and off, all while working the animals. Again best to learn how to handle them.

One really easy trick to use if your afraid of getting bitten, give the monitor something else to bite, like a rat. I do that all the time. Or if your really messing with it, give it a rolled up towl or similar(thats what my vet did) Cheers
