Cham deathly afraid of collard greens??

[leet13]

I had a small piece of collard greens for my panther... once he noticed it in my hand, he either jumped or fell off his leaf. I never had seen him fall before.

Naturally I freaked and when I bent down to see, he was still looking at my hand (which had the collard greens in them) and he was trying to get away from it. He started climbing up back to his spot. I believe he is ok was just stunned for a few seconds. He looked ok when climbing and I will monitor him for the next few days.

Now I am wondering why in the world was he so afraid of the collard greens in my hand? He definitely was looking at it instead of looking at me... he kept his eyes on it.

Now I am afraid my progress with him has been pushed backwards.

probably because panthers dont eat greens really.

haha!

I'm sure once you come back with a tasty wriggling insect he will be okay

No waxworms until you eat your vegetables

lol Yeah I guess he hates veggies.

Anyways he was back in his usual spot (where he fell from) and I am keeping the veggies for the crickets.
