Thats a shame.

As far as Koko, just wait till nightime when lights have been off for awhile, OR........

in the morning DON'T put her lights on one day (maybe this weekend) and she will be cold and EASY to pick up, and transferred to a temporary tank , while you clean hers. They can not move well when cold, so do it then,

Hope you do give her a good life,
Take Care,

well i don't know anything about their life spans except someone has/had one that was 9. as for calming the wild lizard, you just have to keep holding her. kaiser berg is crazy too and if i pick him up with my hand wrapped around him, he freaks out. however if i scoop him up, like slide my hand under him then he is usually better about it. like i told someone before, try to be a moving ledge, not a bird claw.

now i have some ideas. thanks. but i have to say if i stick my hand in to gently scoop her up, she flies top speed to either the wall on the far side or tries jumping out, which has happened numerous times, she almost got in the radiator, so i think i'm going to try eves way. i tried the crix in the box thing and i guess shes smarter than i thought. if i try eves way though, i'll turn off the lights, and all that, but she'll being going to sleep behind the rock in the back. it's a huge rock so i'm not going to attempt to move it when shes in there or she probably get squished. so should i just wait till one night she sleeps in the open? she does it occasionally, but haven't seen it in a while. should i block the back off with like smaller rocks? thanks MIKE
