Handling.. help?

[bcr229]

She does this weird thing when I pick her up that I haven't experienced before, when I pick her up, a small bit of her rectum stick out of her cloaca.. it looks like she's about to prolapse, and it makes me concerned to handle her any extra. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you handle it? It goes away a few minutes after she goes back in her enclosure and settles down. Thank you for any help.

It's another defense mechanism; she's straining to musk/pee/poop on you so you will let her go.

By "solid" tub do you mean opaque without the window? Perhaps that's her problem, she's in the dark and then is blinded when you slide the tub open.
