I received via Delta Dash a 15-month old Gila about one week ago. It came out of its box madder than a hornet! I've fed it once and it still hisses at me when it sees me out of its Boaphile cage. Tonight I decided to try to handle it...maybe too soon. It was biting and hissing and got a hold of my glove! This is my first Gila...do they usually calm down?
