I agree, your glider should be much more tame before you take her anywhere.
One way you can get close to her in the day without getting bitten would be to give her a pouch of some sort to sleep in, then pick up the pouch with her in it. She will be easier to pick up in the pouch than without. If you use a sock, make very sure the sock won't snag. You can cut an old sock off at the heel, she'll probably like it.
A sock that can snag can be hazzardous to the glider so be very careful.
Also, if you reach to her with the back of your fingers first she'd be less intimidated than if you reach with an open hand.
Take a look at my website!It's about gliders, for fun and entertainment.

: Your concerns are very valid.. My suggestion to you is this.. DON"T take her to school. Use the time at home in a safe place for about a month to train her to your pocket.. that way if she does come out she will still be within your home. Taming and training is a slow process that takes time, not only to teach but also to re-enforce what you have taught her.
