Right time to hold.

[Ivypanther]

I have a female panther. I've had her for a week today. And I touched her one time on Wednesday. I had to move her due to putting new stuff in her cage. But that's all, I've hand fed her at least twice a day but she gets stressed and gets scared. I know it's natural but I was wondering when will be the best time to hold her. Since im trying to tame her.

P.s how is my cage setup?

Since its only her first week,If I were you I will let her get more familiar in that cage,before trying to tame her.
There are really no best or wrong time to hold her ,once she sees u as no threat to her,I will let her comes to u,rather then u wana hold her,maybe start with a branch or stick jus to see if she will walk on it without shying away,feeder treats will be another option to offer.
P.S Ur cage looks fine ,maybe more branches will do her well and whatever u do,please dont hold her when she is pooping .

P.S.S I would also remove that green carpet,just for the important healthy reason also easy to clean with the bare floor.

I would let your cham settle in a bit more. After that try hand feeding your cham. I like to use hormworms for hand feeding because they don't run off my hand. I put the worm on my palm and put my hand near my cham. Go in from below.
