just make sure to wash your hands very well. i had a steak last night and must not have washed the smell off good enough. i had her tank open to change her water and she was smelling around more than usual.

i scrubbed up and she seemed to calm down a bit. of course, it could have been all my imagination though but it doesn't hurt to make sure you wash b4 handling. i can't stess this enough to my kids who love to pet her when i have her out.
