I have 1.1 young ones and they don't mind handling at all out of their tubs. I can reach in the males tub and just grab him, although sometimes I think he will strike but he hasn't, yet. The female will hiss mouth wide open, so I use a piece of Styrofoam just in case to take her out and once she's out she's a puppy, but again mines are still very young.
