Newbie question...

[ZooKeeperKarin]

My very first baby hatched last night!!! I'm brand new to this and I'm so excited that I was actually successful!
I'm wondering how careful you need to be about not spooking it. Do you really have to leave it alone or is it okay to approach it, just not handle it?
Sorry, it might seem like a really stupid question but I'm really not sure!

I pick my hatchlings up every day to check them out and get them used to me. Other people go for a longer "hands off" period and we all seem to get decent results. I have found that some hatchlings seem to be easily freaked out right out of the egg and others are calm, so that may affect what you do.

So then I don't have to worry about scaring it to death, literally?
I'm just so afraid of doing something wrong!
