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. 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? lol

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

Re: Meet Lilly
She moves around while I am at work. Just hope she drinks enough.

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
