Still working on photo upload

so today I was going to handle my baby woma for the first time and it was an epic failure. So I attempted to pull her out with snake hook while she was resting but had to move her hide and a few other things to get to her, when I attempted to get her she freaked and then was all over her enclosure. After a few minutes Of attempted hooking i gave up since I did not want to stress her out more than she was. I tired again later and she was on the defensive and would not let me get near her.

so perhaps I went about this all wrong. Needless to say when I got my ball python he was nearly a year old and was stationary when i reached in to pick him up for the first time, he was a bit nippy but he didn't dash like my woma. She is so slinger and super fast holy smokes.

how do you recommend approaching and pulling out a baby woma? I feel confident with my ball python but maybe more is needed for this little girl.

On a positive note she is pretty calm when I'm checking her out and today when I needed to spot clean and fill up her water dish she just kind of hangs out and watches me. my biggest challenge is this first pick up and handling session.


Thanks all
