I do like to let her wander around my liveing room. There she has a lot of space to explore. The only bad part about that, is she likes going under the coffee table. Its hard to get her out of there. I worry about her getting to cold, because she doesnt come out.

I have tried the hand in the cage thing, but she ignores me. I have left it in there for hours, untill I cant feel my hand anymore due to my circulation being cut off. Its not exactly easy to just let my hand rest in there. Though, she has used my arm to crawl out of her feeding bin before.

I do wonder what she thinks of me. As I said, she does tolerate me. I can pick her up just fine, she doesnt struggle at all. When I place her down on my lap, she just looks at me for a moment, and then crawls away. If I put a blanket over her though, she will stay put and just get comfy and go to sleep. So maybe its just that she likes being coverd or burried? Maybe I need to build some kind of ramp, from her cage to the floor, so she can have the freedom to come and go as she pleases. Is that a good idea?

Its also kinda funny, she does recognize me by sight. I can tell because whenever she sees my roomate, she has that same caucious alert fear when she first saw me. Now she looks at me with a kind of, "Meh, its that guy again" attitude.

Im probably worried over nothing and just need to be more patient. She is my first reptile, so Im just not used to how they act, and I dont know the signals to look for.
