Give her time. Remember a while ago she was running around the rainforest hunting inveretebrates and dodging birds and monitors. Now she has this large, strange animal looking at her and lifting her. Soon she will figure out that animal brings good things eat fills water bowl and has a 98 degree basking spot (your lap). Be sure she has a sizeable soaking bowl and a humid hide as T. gigas come a more humid enviornment (New Guinea) then T.scincoides (Australian). I have a good investment for keeping these guys is an inexpensive food processor to mix greens with dogfood and fruit (they don't eat greens voluntarely).
