    Slowly introduce your self to the cage. Open the door and talk to her then reach over slow, maybe with a nice juicy meaty treat, then gently grip her , with or without gloves (unused gardener a gloves), and just hold her while you do what you need to. She will calm with handling and so will you. Something is no longer a threat when you realize it can't hurt you.

    In a way, that is helpful to your BD. Reptiles do not like to be picked up and they don't usually need to be bathed. Just clean the terrarium without removing her.

    You could always buy some gloves. Just be gentle.
