Thanks guys! I've been feeding fair amounts of beets and rose hips and I think it's showing. The glass is especially awful when they decide to dig right by it for no good reason at 2am after they've freshly molted and came up with sharp leg tips. It's like nails on a chalkboard.

Prickly pear cacti has soft spines. Humans can actually hold them and sort of brush the spines.

I've had my mom keep an eye out for a gel leg, but he's taking his time. I've had him for awhile too.
