for the MOST part, Argentine's are big bluffers!
They'll huff and puff and.. and.. that's about it! lol

They will strike sometimes but it's mostly all a show..

I have about a dozen and all were like this and most still are..but I know this and handle them well regardless, never having been bitten by them...
it's always the ones you don't expect it from that get ya..lol.. cause you're not paying as much attention.. lol


Anyway, as long as you are careful (Extreeeemely slow movement) you shouldn't have a problem trying.. distract them, grab from behind and just hold her, let her rest on you, maybe have a friend distract her should she get nervous.. eventually, over time, you'll be able to touch her closer up her body towards her neck without her being alarmed and jerking back or striking..

Good luck!
