Answer
Hi John,

Ok, so the first question would are you feeding her in her tank? If you are then you might consider feeding in a separate tank or cage. I know this may sound silly because after a couple years your not going to be able to do this. At the point she is to big to really handle you are going to have to feed her in her tank again. You should be able to handle her more after a few feedings.

Hope this helps,
