I am trying to move her out of her tank and into a critter keeper so I can raise her substrate high/clean/prepare for i think an upcoming molt...How can I do this the easiest way without her attacking, or more importantly flicking out any hairs?  She is already being defensive...Shes 100% prepared to do either I can tell...But I really need to get to her tank without her in it. Everytime we try to coerce her into walking into the critter keeper tho, she turns to attack, and she flipped around, almost like, "yeah get closer im gonna flick a hair in yer eye"  lol.  ANY tips, on how to do this without stressing her out would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want her stressed is my main concern, and she is.  Thanks!!! I am a worry-wort momma.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
