    Do we just need to continue to handle her and ignore her attempts to bite? She usually does it when she is hungry and once she gets hold of a finger and realizes it isn't what she wants she gives up.
    Do we need to handle her more? Do we need to feed her more?
    Can anyone help?
    Up her food size, just a little bit. Make sure her food is the same thickness as the thickest point on her body, maybe a tiny bit more.

    Well, if she's hungry, feed her in her enclosure. Taking her out is just going to stress her and get you bitten. She won't associate your hand with food. And if your on proper substrate, you don't have to worry about them eating it.
