That's great. My girl is always watching us through the glass and we talk to her all the time and handle her allot. She doesn't even flinch when I hold her in place and remove the tongs. But that is probably rare. Our male is way more skittish and sometimes closeing the enclosure while he is wrapped scares him. I know I couldn't do the same with him.
