So, I think I've gone and set up a bad pattern for Coco and haven't been paying enough attention to her cues . I up-sized her to a new tub (went from a 9qt to a 17qt), and with the temps being cooler, I have a Dyson heater in the area where her tub is. Ambient is 80, hot side 88-92, and I'm misting daily to keep humidity in the 60's. She hides all day, has 2 identical hides, and is on paper towel substrate. Biggest difference is she's spending more time in her cool side hide. She's a fantastic eater and she's not aggressive at all.

The past few weeks, I take her out once for about 20-40 minutes so she can stretch out etc, kind of "walking" her. I'll have her in my lap, and she'll seem to settle, then all of a sudden...I'm sitting in her pee 3 times she's peed directly on me, and one time she peed / pooped on a desk I let her explore last week.

I had been handling her for a total of 10 minutes, twice a day this past week(should note I leave her alone for 48 hours after eating)...and I tempted fate last night and she peed in her cuddle bag last night as I was holding her. Am I literally scarring / stressing the crap (and pee) out of her? Should I wait longer after she's eaten to handle her? Does she maybe need a new substrate? Has this happened to any of you?

Thanks everyone !
