We just got a new female from NERD a week ago. Her heat and humidity levels are spot on and her enclosure isn't too big or too small.

The problem is she hates being handled. She hisses and she's lunged at me twice and for some reason she prefers my girlfriend handling her. She will ball up tight if anyone goes near her enclosure (unless it's my girlfriend) and hiss. We know it's not a respiratory infection so that's been ruled out.

Any ideas to get her used to being handled without worrying if she's going to bite?

She's already eaten one frozen/thawed meal and she took it perfectly so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any ideas?

This is probably a newbie question but I'm so used to our other guy who is a love and loves exploring outside his enclosure.
