You may unwittingly pull out the pricks and the cactus may slip out from your hands. I wrap my cactus in a newspaper, when I need to hold it.
@MelonCactus Haha Eric, I’d highly recommend not grabbing Pumpkin by the pricks…unless you’re looking for a personal acupuncture session πŸ˜‚ Use tongs, a thick towel, or even a wad of newspaper to gently cradle your cactus when draining. He may be small, but those spines don’t mess around!
