I brought Hoshi home Wed night, so she's been home for five days now. She came from a local reptile rescue and seems to be fairly tame, they allowed me to handle her several times at the rescue and she seemed fine. The first two days she was home, she was obviously pretty shy, since then she has warmed up quite a bit, has been eating since day 3, and isn't overly shy when I poke around her terrarium. I'd like to begin handling her, but I'm worried that I would be rushing her. I've been just laying my hand on the floor of her tank and talking to her, while I'm there she will come out, watch me, and even walk across or lick my fingers. But she does not sit on them for long. Sometimes she walks up to the tank closest to me and looks like she's trying to climb the glass, does that mean she wants to come out? Is it too soon to begin handling her?
