    Yes, if you don't wet your hands. Before handling green Tree frogs you have to throughly wash you hands with chlorine free water. The reasoning behind this is that certain oils excrete out of human hands that can damage the frogs skin.

    Echidnas are certainly not nocturnal, they are very active during the day. Wombats and devils are commonly kept in outdoor enclosures. They spend a lot of time sleeping, but do spend some time wandering around their enclosure during the day.
