You'll be fine. All my stuff are females and Rosey my 6' BCI is like a giant puppy dog. Just today she finally came out of her hide after going into blue and she is out of her cranky mode and sat at the front of the cage till I opened the door. Then she popped her head out to say "Hi" and let me pet her head and body. Then she lounged at the doorway for about an hour and then back under her RHP and curled up to finish her shedding. They truly are like giant puppy dogs.
