There are two reasons why a handler should wear latex gloves when handling an amphibian:


Bare hands can disrupt the delicate mucous coating on the skin of some amphibians; they can also absorb
chemicals from human hands (soap, lotions, etc.).

Some amphibians produce toxins from glands in the skin. An easy way to remember to wear gloves is
“Toxins in, toxins out.”
