Hello all!

‘Ruby’, my 5.5 month old Lavendar noodle, is growing. Time passes so fast . She seems to be doing well. Temps are good - feeding has been overall very good except when I moved to a larger enclosure so I’ve recently moved her back.

Despite handling a few times a week (by slowly lifting hide and removing her) she is still scared of hands. She initially curls up when trying to handle, then moves around a lot - but always to get away or find a hiding place. I can tell she is scared and doesn’t like handling. Is this normal at her age? I want to try choice-based handling but I feel like she would never come out unless coaxed. Any thoughts/insights would be much appreciated.

I recently uploaded some pictures of Ruby to my gallery
