Help with handling

Understood! I will leave her alone for a while more, and also change up the way I feed her. I will from now on feed her in her own enclosure. See this I why joining a forum is the one of the best things to do IMHO, look at my ignorance washin right away!! Lol

Also keep in mind hissing doesn't mean a strike is 2 seconds away. Most just hiss because they want to seem scary so you leave them alone. I have had babies who hiss for the first couple of handlings then when they realize it is not necessary they stop.
