Thanks for your reply! I have had Jeffrey for over a year now. He has a very strong feeding response and I always wash my hands before going into his tank. I'm aware that he "could" be a fine handler, and he's actually very good, doesn't try to squirm. It's just getting him out is stressful for him since I have to pull him pretty hard to get him out of his humid hide which he's in most of the time except late at night.

But this is good information! Thank you so much.
