[QUOTE="HungryGhost, post: 25833, member: 2661"] For the safety of the T I like to use a large plastic cup or container to get the T in and out of its enclosure. Place the container in front of the T in the enclosure and gently encourage it to crawl inside by touching a rear leg or the abdomen. This will also give you an idea of how receptive to handling the T is on any given day. If there's a lot of hair flicking or threat display leave it be. Once inside the cup cover the top with your hand and take it to a safe place to handle/interact with the T. I like putting a towel on the floor and sitting so I can keep the T low in case of a fall. Them use the cup to transfer it back to the enclosure. [/QUOTE]
