Handling / Taming

[Crying_Bird]

I have been working with Tiamat everyday at least once a day with getting used to being touched and handled. I rub her all over with a snake hook and after a few min. my hand. She doesn't strike, or even attempt to strike. From what I was told she wasn't handled much at all for who knows how long. What is bothering me is whenever I give her attention she... well.. for no better way to put it she runs! She acts as if she is really scared of being touched and handled. Tonight I was able to pick her for a min. but she was extremely flighty and I felt it best to take baby steps and return her immediately to her home. Am I on the right track with just touching her everyday? Will she chill out a bit eventually? I would really love to be able to take her out to interact with her.
