They are in 41qt bins in a rack that i built with flexwatt attached to a johnsons therm set at 90 degrees. they each have one of those black plastic hides and a water bowl in the tank. I use newspaper as substrate.

I use to handle my 1100gram female pastel about 3-4 x's a week for a couple min at a time but then a week ago she hissed at me but then later in the night i was able to pick her up.

I have a feeling it is more me being timid and not going in confident. Do you think they can sense if im nervous about picking them up? Cause before i got struck at and hissed at i use to go right in and just grab them and it would be fine.
