[QUOTE="Rs50matt, post: 186112, member: 27872"] It’s dependant on the person , the T and the situation. If by handling people are getting a T out of its enclosure for the sole purpose of holding it then no its not needed. But , I handle atleast 1 T every week. She’s a sub adult Chilensis and whenever that lid comes off to feed or fill her dish she will wander out. Imo it’s easier for me and her if I just let her walk on my hand and place her back in rather than pushing with a brush or using a catch cup. We have a few Ts that will do this. That being said, I would never pick up someone else’s T. When it comes to problems a T could have that require hands on attention then I think your just stupid if you call someone out for handling in that situation. [/QUOTE]
