Ditto with the few amphibs I've had, for the reasons stated above. Plus I don't think most amphibs have any interest in that sort of contact with humans. Maybe it's true for most creatures, full stop - our chipmunk always resented it even though rodents are normally associated with being "fluffy" (and maybe handleable) in people's minds.

oh and when you do pick them up cup your hands around them dont grab
