So you think handling makes them tamer? I've been going with the opposite philosophy, and trying to just keep my distance and let her forget whatever humans did to her before we met.
I know how to tame snakes, because I undestand the kinds of things snakes like to do, so I can sort of make myself the kind of tree that they're comfortable in, but what do you do with toads? I'd love to get her less scared, because it would improve her quality of life immensely, but I haven't really wanted to dive into a lot of ham-handed trial and error and risk making things worse.
