the key is to never give in to their tantrums. They will huff, puff, and maybe nipp as long as that gets them wht they want... to be put down.

They are kind of like a naughty 2 year old. Is it good to give a spoiled, crying 2 year old what he's crying for? NO. that only teaches them to do it again next time they want something.

do what reptyls said and wear gloves if frightened AND ONLY PUT THEM DOWN WHEN THEY ARE NOT HUFFING.
