Yeah I had her on top of the tongs already and then turned around and snapped! Haha no licking of the lips I swear

I guess I was paranoid and wanted to handle her not even by hand just wanted to check for droppings under the hide. Check her skin in general (I wasn't sure when her last shed was). I dunno I guess I was just super concerned. I'm normally not an owner that wants to handle just for the sake of it. It's just been a while so I wanted to get right into checking on things prob my fault haha

If she strikes because of possible smell on the tongs should I feed her again you think. I have hoppers right now but she's about 5 months old now so maybe one a few days ago wasn't enough? She did fly overnight to get to me haha it was frozen thawed too and she took it immediately where I know my past balls either didn't take them all or needed major coersion. Maybe I'm overthinking :sob: thanks for the response!
