Gloves for handling?

[Frogsandlizards24]

I have two whites tree frogs and ive always wanted to hold them. I know you shouldnt be handling them a lot because of the oils on pur fingers and they might get stressed but ive seen people hold their frogs every once in a while. I usually dont because im afraid they'll get stressed or something but if i wanted to what gloves should i get? Ive read about latex free and powder free but is there any type i should not get? Thanks

Any powder free disposable glove will do. I use powder free nitrile disposable gloves from costco. You get 300 for about $15. They come in a 2 pack with 150 in each box . I always wear gloves whenever I do frog stuff, water changes especially. Don't worry about white's stress levels so much they don't mind being handled they are very chill and don't stress easily at all. If they aren't used to you holding them though they may be jumpy and squirt on you so hold them somewhere safe like over your bed for a soft landing lol. Try hand feeding when you are holding it so it associates being handled with something positive.

Would vinyl gloves be good too?
Thanks for your help

I use latex free / powder free

I also use the latex/powder free. But I also hold them with clean hands sprayed with frog safe water and they will hunker down into the palm and soak up the warmth. Be careful though, they have the tendency to give face hugs.
