Hi guys,

I was wondering how much you all handle your red eyed tree frogs? I know these frogs are generally a "look don't touch" according to care sheets I've read, but I'll be honest, holding them for a few minutes every few days makes cleaning the tank a TON easier! They no longer sit super still or hop away from me and when they wake up, I put my hand near them and they climb right on and I can safely get them out of the tank so I can clean it. (I have a rule of never cleaning anything while they're in there as to not accidentally squish one!)

I'm a 30 year old so I'm very responsible with my animals and do not have kids or other pets or anything that would get to these frogs. I simply take them out and let them walk into a temporary enclosure while I clean. That being said am I really in the wrong for holding these guys? (I take all precautions and rinse my hands with filtered water and dry them before hand).
