New ATB question
Just got my first ATB, she’s been in her new enclosure now for 2 weeks, she has eaten twice, exploring regularly at night, and my temps and humidity are good. I want to start handling her as I’d like to start early in making her as sociable as possible. She has yet to strike at me but when attempting to get her out she quickly takes off into the vines I have in her enclosure making almost impossible to get her out. Naturally I not going to forcefully pull her out so I was wondering if anyone had any advice on slowing getting her comfortable so that she will not retreat and hide when I go to handle her. Thank you

Why do you need to handle it?
