What I'm doing is very short, positive handling sessions. The moment she relaxes for 30 seconds, I put her back up. I'm trying to condition her that when she's calm, good things happen (and for her, a good thing is being gently put back into her enclosure, away from the monster).

Some are just by nature, much more shy and frightened, just be very calm with her.
Thanks! That is what I have been trying to do. Only like 5 min sessions with him and then back in so he feels safe. I hope he gets used to being handled cause he is a real beauty and like having him out. Thanks again!
