Be very gentle when holding. Do not pull it at all. Tickling the tail will help get it to move. If you're gonna hold it then let settle. If it looks stressed leave it alone.

Re: My new GTP....Nabire
I dont handle my neos this is good advice. what I do recomend is while its perched if u want to 'hold it' rest your hand under the coils this way they get use to u and u can 'hold' it... all my GTP are tame ...yep even my Biak :gj:
I wish u luck, it is a beautiful little baby. I look forward to many more photos as it changes!

I handled it this weekend, just like all of you have suggested she came right off of the perch and absolutely was a baby....
She never tried to run or seemed paniced what so ever.

Mostly to avoid accidents, but kinking could show up months later. So i play it safe and leave them alone until they are older:gj:.
