She's adorable! She doesn't look stressed to me. If she will let you hold her, as in climb onto you willingly from her cage I say go for it and enjoy!

I just had a surprise baby hatch yesterday, most likely the only one from that clutch that will hatch. I have raised lots of them but each new one is a miracle to me.
Tiny babies have no fear and will crawl all over you each time you put your hand near them, I love that. I have the DragonStrand babies cages designed for one baby per cage. But if you do not have those take a small plastic container, size around 1 foot to 18 inches, and at least 12 inches deep. Bigger it good, but not smaller. Line the bottom with paper towels, as babies can drown in almost no water. I use small plastic plants for them to crawl on. The lighting is a debate here. I use a regular 25watt bulb for the first 2 weeks then, switch to a regular uvb that has been in service for a while or I put it way above the cage. Too much uvb for babies is thought to be a bad thing.
I feed fruit flys and pinhead cricket for food. I know I have forgotten something, so just pm or ask here and we will get you all fixed up, and a big congrats!!!

She's beautiful! I'm in the midst of raising my first baby as well! Fruit flies have proven to be her favorite thing and she is very fascinated by the dripper!

My advice would be food. The best thing would be for you to do is breed fruit flies. They are extremely easy to breed, here is how
You want to feed it what its supposed to eat or whats suited-- your cham is adorable. Hope she turns out well and friendly.
