As Toad37 said, this is normal...it just takes time & patience. Remember that even captive-bred reptiles are WILD animals, not "domestic", so they rely on their
instincts (like fear) to stay safe. Most learn to trust us in time...but it can take longer for some than others. Try to imagine if YOU were that tiny & some "giant"
wanted to pick you up? You wouldn't assume that giant was your buddy...you'd think you were their "snack".![]()
