They are very easy to take care of. They are just not recomended for a beginner because of thier aggresion. you cant expect to ever hold it without getting bit.

not an animal to handle. think of it like a fish. the biggest of these can do real damage without protection. so gloves are needed. although some people have gotten them tame don't expect many to be this way. a few might let you touch them, most will not and may get rather nasty.

Acutally I dont like using gloves. I have been bit by more animals trying to use gloves because I cant get a good grip on them. If you throw a towl over their head and then grab them that always works really well for me.

I dont like using gloves either. You cant tell the pressure your putting on the animals. The towel or just use your hand. . if your careful and fast you wont get bit.

Once they're used to their home and such, you can tame them if they're fairly young. You definitely will get bit though if you get a tokay. It doesn't bother me though, I let mine bite me all it wants and eventually it just gives up and sits on my arm.
