    Best hatchling gloves?
    Just to eliminate the flinch factor to protect from dropping any hatchlings. I can only find super heavy duty glove, but am looking for lightweight ones. Also never been bit so gloves make me feel more confident/comfortable about handling.

    I would recommend no gloves. Gloves could cause a tooth to get caught in the fabric. The bite of a hatchling is pretty week. Occasionally you may get a drop of blood.

    My recommendation is just to let one bite you. You will quickly realize it's nothing to be concerned about.

    A bite from hatching I less than a bee sting

    I have not been bitten yet, but supposedly it is about on par with a mild papercut (I'm tempted to let Vince tag me, just so I can get that worry out of the way). :) Probably don't need gloves to handle the babies, even if they're feisty.

    Practice by getting bit a lot, until you stop flinching!:rolleyes:

    Sounds like you want something along the lines of military dress gloves.

    Agreed don't worry about a hatchling bite. I've had worse bites from my Crested Geckos. It's really nothing at all.

    Considering it does not contain venom I would hope there is no similarities.
