As for my demeanor handling her, I will admit to being a bit reserved about just reaching in and grabbing her as she's taken her fair share of nips at me. Sure, it isn't all that painful, and I heal quickly, but I'd be lying to say that I'm never a bit skeptical about grabbing her. The typical approach has been to put my hands in low near her belly to initiate contact, then to try to ease her up out of the tub. Tomorrow I'll just jump in and snatch her up out of the tub and see what her response is. Worse thing that can happen is that she'll nibble on me again.

Thanks for the replies so far!
I'd definitely try just opening up her tub and going right in to grab her, no hesitation. You might be surprised in her response, though of course she could act the same as before. Good luck
