ive had an ig for about six years. i received her as a present on my 15th b-day and thought an ig was "cool". little did i realize all the attention she needs! she became a pet my mom had to lecture me on and help me take care of. ive always been a lil nervous of the tail and the teeth, and have been bitten twice. i now live on my own and am keeping the ig, and this is where i need help.
ive read a lot on this forum and decided to start over in a sense, reading particularly the posts for new ig owners, but here i go anyways: she is used to my smell, and me, but she is not very friendly, im afraid thats my fault as i didnt handle her often enough and allowed myself to get scared of her. she is now a rather large ig and very fiesty. what steps should i take to "tame" her, as well as any suggestions for me!
