Looking for gloves ASAP

I need some shoulder length gloves ASAP. Does anyone know a LFS here that have them in stock?

I have some disposable shoulder length vet gloves coming in, but I need to grab a frag that fell to the bottom of the the tank right away.

Why not just dip my arm in you ask? This is why.

in a pinch you can use a kitchen trash bag, rubber bands & your imagination.

Yeah I don't know anyone that has anything like that around. You might be able to find some at a medical suppy store.

For now the purple & orange will do.

Good idea on the trash bags Jeff! I think for now that is what I'll end up doing.

Chris, good thought! I'll call them and a few vet offices as well.

Yeah I irratateded some zoo's in a tank once and I must have had a cut on my arm somewhere. They put me down for the night. It felt like a really bad hangover. I never actually touched anything but I know it was from them...

I'd use gloves when touching or fragging zoanthids all the time. Each person reacts differently if a little bit get in on a cut like Chris did, or could have a very serious reaction.

Not worth the risk.
