I don't own a T but I think they're amazing little critters and there's definitely one on my wish list. I've handled friends T's and T's at the reptile shop. I think it's ok with species that aren't really jumpy and flighty and should be done w/ extreme care since a short fall could be fatal. It's also a good idea to sit on the floor while handling so if the little guy or girl does fall it won't be a long drop...
