Wow Reinz, that is one stunning jungle! We'll have to introduce her to my boy Shredder in a few years.
@ ZA- I say ditch the hook and just pick her up with your hands. You can use gloves if she's nippy. My coastal is pretty flighty when I first take him out too. He usually calms down after a few minutes. I think this is one of those practice makes perfect scenarios. As she acclimates, and the more you work with her , she should calm down.
