Also, some bloods get nippy when they get touched anywhere near their tail, so you might have one of those. Don't try "taming her down" until you've had her for at least a week, or that's just going to overstress her.
Yeah I realize now that was a mistake. even for lifting her sor less than a minute I probably should have lifted her with more support.

Also, on saturday/sunday itll be about 9 days ive had her. I may wait longer because ive been doing so much to the tank, from moving due to space issues to checking ground and air temps

Im trying to stop touching the tank entirely but its hard when the temps are either 4 degrees to high or 2 - 3 degrees to low

Humidity is good though!
