[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 222290, member: 29323"] Some snake handlers use kevlar anti-pierce gloves, but that is an overkill for arachnids. The thing with arachnids is, they can be incredibly fast & we do not hold them, but instead allow them to walk on us, so although the hand is the most logical place to be bitten, it's not the only place if an arachnid panics & runs. A leather glove would prevent an arachnid bite. But what is the point of handling if you have no contact with the arachnid? Looking at an arachnid on a plant or wall is no different to looking at it on a glove, in fact, it's un-natural on the glove & natural on a wall or plant etc & thus the better sight. [/QUOTE]
