In Reply to: My female DI is also skittish posted by JohnStyner on May 01, 2003 at 10:36:13:

:and i have been very patient with her. She is 2.5 years old. The male lets me pick him right up though hes the same age. Their daughter is extreamly slittish.
:On another note out of 8 eggs from 2 clutches this year I only have 2 that have not died . I might try pearlite next time
:John Styner

::Just wondering how hes doing ! My female I adopted was never handled, and everyday I put my hand in tank to pick her up and she literally freaks out, super skittish, she likes to watch me and waits for her food, but does not like to be handled, I hope she will settle down evenually ! Hope your guy is good ! :0) Eve

********************************
I have been patient with her too, very gentle , but its like shes climbs the walls to get away, never have I had any of my lizards act this way oh except an emerald swift I have but even he settles down a bit !! As far as the eggs that is a damn shame, wonder why, have you used sphagnum moss ? Or is that waht you have been using ? :0) Eve
