So that kind of stress goes away quickly. In the wild it would be a disadvantage to "worry" about what happened earlier.

Also they can get used to "visitors" My female is a neighborhood star. there will be three to four little kids scrambling to feed her. She is used to it, and as long as one at a time reaches out, she happily eats the bugs from their hand.

seems odd that she would shut down with that.... Were they holding her as well?

i taught my 8 year old cousin how to hold her and it took a bit but i made sure she was gentle. she’s a beginning reptile fanatic.

Well there is your stress... You had someone else hold her and then on top of it I am betting people were standing at her cage staring in... These things impact them.

They are all individuals. Some do not do well with that type of interaction when they have never been around it. Hopefully that is the only thing that caused the shut down and not something related to husbandry.
