She is around 5.5" so a little smaller than yours.  Mine becomes fast running and easily agitated at times.  Other times she's calm.  I just coax them onto my hand I put flat in front of them.  But it's nobody's fault but yours if you get bit.  Plus if your nervous it might be a bad idea.  She could start running and scare you and fall.  I don't suggest it if your not completely calm and confident with her.</p></blockquote><p></p>
