Yes i know your not suppose to handle your little thingies but when i started in this hobby i was abit afried of Ts and had utterly big respect for them.. but after i have had a few and gotten more and more used to it i have finaly gotten over the worst part of my fears of getten bitten and stuff like that.. a friend of mine showed me how to do this and finaly i have been able to do this safely both for me and the T..

Its a G.rosa if anyone is wondering

well done, I have seen this as well, but not plucked up the courage to do it - if needed.
Mind you I suppose it helps more when you have a teacher with you

Yay! The first time I tried holding a G. rosea I was shaking so bad I just couldn't do it.

The weird thing is, the first time I tried the technique you're using there, it worked perfectly well -- they've got some hard structure that's perfect for picking up -- but I've never been able to repeat it with the same specimen.

grammos and brachys a nice ts to handle....
