 "Ig sleeve" thingy

A little cheesy but I kind of want one http://www.iggear.com/GripsDesc2.htm

I’m sure they are not overly difficult to make but I can hardly sew on a button so I’d probably damage myself more with a needle then with the igs claws. Maybe I can find someone local to make me one if I buy all the materials. They look more comfortable then just gloves with the fingers cut out, more like a soft padded sleeve.

They look pretty kool. I’m thinking of using oven mitt. They have long ones for BBQ. You can just cut the end off and sew or hot glue it to keep the stuffing in.

i bought a pair of these

Link

they wont stop any major attacks but they definately are padded enough to stop all the scratches and reduced the impact of tail whips. cheap too, but you have to buy 2 as they dont come in a pair.


also i had to dye mine black because makenshi didnt like the yellow at all.

Oh Shaxx those look great!!!! :D Thanks for the suggestion, I love the length of them!!!

My ig doesn’t attack but when he wants to get down he means LET ME DOWN NOW! And my arms usually take a good scratching if I’m trying to restrain him (say to get him back into the house from outside basking or something).

well i got them in the post and they are really good i still took a few hits to the thumb and fingers but nothing like i used to. it also doesnt hamper your ability to feel how hard you are holding them like gloves do.

the only down side is i tried to dye them black and now i have a slightly duller but still very bright yellow pair so they dont dye well lol.

for the price i think they are a good deal

I have a friend who is a welder/fabricator and I emailed him your link because I knew he would know where I can find some in Ontario .. he says he uses the exact same ones at work only theirs have fingers. He’s going to hook me up with a pair and I’m going to cut the fingers out if I can because like you said you want to be able to still feel the lizard. They look great, thank you so much for the suggestion!!! :D
