SPAZZING OUT SND THEN COMPLETELY STILL PLEASE HELPE

[WinFam01]

Everyone has given good advice, I just wanted to add to the handling part. I'm wondering if it would be good to kind of go back to the beginning with her and gain her trust. It was really hard for us not to handle ours for a while, but it pays off in the end. I would say don't take her out of her tank for at least several days. Try approaching her with slow, calm hands to offer her some food by hand. Once she's comfortable with you putting your hands in (she doesn't run or shy away), then you can start taking her out again. But you will need to be as calm and quiet as you can, both when you get her out and while she's out.
I say all this because I have a tween and a teen in my house. ?

I don't disagree with this, but I do want to add if you feed her from your hand, be careful. My beardie is not a picky eater and he will go at whatever he is eating with the ferocity of a hurricane! Only time he's ever bitten me hard was when I had a small green sitting on my fingers; needless to say, he missed the green. :lol: Hurt like heck for a day or so, but I couldn't be mad at that little fella for trying to eat.

I will take this and try it! I would like to mention that i am one of the only hands she is actually letting pet her and perks up when I come in.
