I will do. I was told she eats frozen thawed ok and she is healthy enough that missing one or 2 meals would not hurt her. If the feeding platform fails to work tongs might. This is my biggest herp challenge yet. I have done tons of reading and have admired this species for years now. I know her strikes once she was out of the box was fear strikes so were all over the place. Always open to advice.

After a few meals this way, you might just find her waiting on the platform. :rofl: Anyway, it will be interesting to see what she does, eh?

Offering from tongs may work well too for this species- since in the wild they'd be grabbing birds & bats? I would think that would be her most natural behavior, but all the practice she'd get might improve her aim on you too? :D lol

:D:P:D True. Well I hope to build trust eventually. Either way I expect her to behave this way for a while.

She'll probably fulfill all your expectations. :snake2: lol

Wow, beautiful animal!

She moves around while I am at work. Just hope she drinks enough. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cf89a67fbe.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e0179425ba.jpg

Do you mist her? Don't these drink off moist leaves in the wild?

I do mist some. I also provide her a bowl. I just know how easy it is for her to dehydrate

She eat for me for the 1st time. Yay!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...33d517f236.jpg
