is she tame enough to come out her viv? if so i would just get her out for 10-15 mins a day. then gradually increase time she is out until she gets used to being handled. but remember to to disturb her for at least 48 hours after feeding to give her time to digest her mousey

just open it and take her out, she may try and wiggle away but once she is out she will be fine. and the more she gets used to you it will become a lot easier to get her out

You've just got to go for it and handle a little bit each day. Gradually increase the time until you can handle when ever you want to.
