i know i was.......BUT i read a tip from someone on this forum (i wish i remember who) in a random thread and their advice, which has worked WONDERS for me was to glue some branches to a glove.
At first i thought it sounded crazy but i was tired of getting hissed at, and even bitten once.
So i went to walmart, bought a pair of green gardening gloves, broke some small twigs from a tree outside my house, boiled some water and placed the twigs in (just incase) and hot glue gunned them to one of the gloves. I left the other glove twig-less so it could be more agile.
Much to my surprise, i opened my male veild's cage, extended the arm with the branchy glove in, and held a hornworm near the elbow of my extended arm and he jumped out of his cage and into my arm, and didn't hiss or show any stressful colours.
He doesn't mind my arms at all, but if i try to do anything with him without the gloves on, he freaks out.
Anyone have any idea how i can get him slowly used to my hands and not the gloves?
Anyways, just my advice for any new handlers out there with chams that have attitude
