Those those tanned leather underside gloves 🧤 seem to make it easy to report cacti without getting poked. Also you need to wear leather all over, because that is a big boy and it could fall on you and that would not be a fun experience. I am saying this from experience with a grey ghost organ pipe and a scarlet ball that stuck a bunch of its hair thin needles into my finger, which surprisingly didn’t hit any pain restores.

I use silicone tongs 😊🌵

Rural King’s Kinco leather gloves with wool lining. They’ll run you about $11. They’ll also make your hands sweat but you won’t have glochids/spines. I also use them when operating my kiln, so they work.

I find rubber coated or leather gloves work best

Leather puncture and cut resistant gloves
