..would I safely go about getting a hisser off a tank decoration onto my hand safely? I've got a piece of cholla wood in my hisser tank that I can't seem to get them to let go of and I'm wondering if there is a good way to pull them off or do I need to coax them into walking off it and onto my hand somehow?

 
I just yank them off, they let go eventually. They're not like some insects that hold on so hard that their feet can rip off (for example many caterpillars). Alternatively you could try to coax them onto a piece of paper and then onto your hand.

Ok, I was worried about injuring him. No sense in hurting my only male if I want to get a small colony going. lol. Where's the best place to grab them along their sides?
