Thanks again all! You've made me feel a lot better and more confident already

Yes, like I said. Mine was very snappy. Whenever I pulled him out I'd get bit about 3 or 4 times and that's not mentioning all the other times he tried to bite. I gave him a lot of alone time before I started handling him and he may not be an adult now but he's a good four times bigger than when I got him and he is the sweetest now. It was a lot of patience, keeping his husbandry just right, and fattening him up.
And if she does bite, don't react by putting her back into her enclosure, she will learn rather quickly that all she has to do is bite you to be left alone. If she tags you just act like it didn't phase you. Especially since it doesn't hurt. She'll realize that trying to intimidate and bite you does nothing.
