hey guys - quick update here

I have definitely left her alone for a while now! Upped the humidity to good levels with moss and towel over the cage. She definitely likes hiding on the cool side now because theres more moss which she burrows under. So definitely a noodle who likes to be hidden. But she has good temps and is back and forth between the sides.

I did a few of the tricks you guys said. I kept my hands in the tank without necessarily feeding or messing with her hide for cleaning or anything.

Another time I transferred her (not with hands but with a hook) into a see through carrier. And just had her near by without me bugging her (I guess to try and show her I'm not a threat as you guys said?).

It's been a few months now and she is such a good eater. She definitely still jumps back in her hole if her head is out and we walk by the cage though. So still very jittery?

How do you proceed to the next step of trying to handle? Any tips?
