Hi all! New question. But first some background. As I said in a previous post, we received a Collard for Chrsitmas from my sisiter. She's had this female for 2 months and she has been tame. However, my sister lives alone. Things are very calm at her place. She was keeping the lizard in a 10 gallon vivarium. As a preface, my kids are 6 and 3, we have a very active household. 2 days ago, I transfered her to a nice big 60 G that I set up with sand and rocks, etc. She loves it, but has become a lot less tame. Until the transfer, she was content to sit on my shoulder or head and hang out and seemed to like being handled. Now she doesn't want to be caught. Leaps off my shoulder at any opportunity and does the run on her two hind legs. Today when I caught her, she bit me as I was catching her to put her back in her tank. Not sure how to proceed. She's been handled every day once or twice, but the tank transfer seems to have her worked up. My kids don't want to touch her since she bit me and this is supposed to be their pet. HELP!!!

She's alot more active than she was and seems a lot more alert and predatorial. She's just come out of a shedding cycle and is eating like a fiend. Thanks for the thoughts!
