just held simon for the first time!

[SimonTheCham]

We've been struggling with holding simon, but just 10 min. Ago we did it! He was actually lighter in our hands then in his cage, and he even FELL ASLEEP! the only part he's not green durrng is when we are getting hIm out of the cage. Any suggestions for that? anyways, thanks for all the help guys!

Good to hear congratulations it helped me to first hold my guys before they go to bed and have them fall asleep on me trusting and did that for a week and since then they just crawl on me

As he becomes more comfortable with you, and learns to trust you he won't flare up when coming out of his cage. I'm working with a female panther right now who started by gaping and hissing, but each time I took her out of her cage I put her on a free range (something she enjoys), so now she has stopped hissing and gaping, and only 1/2 flares up. Time and patience will work the best for you, but I know it's such a great feeling the first time one of them walks onto your hand!
