I have a couple of females like this, they would rather you just left them alone. But regardless, even if there are just breeders and not cuddly pets you still need to be able to get them out for cleanings. So I started using one of the small extending pocket snake hooks (like $5), I simple use it to move them away from strike position so I can lift them up with my hand. Once I have them picked up they are fine and have learned this routine, that would be something you can try. I would tell you their names, but I don't think it is appropriate on this forum. LOL!!
