My veiled tries to eat my fingers?

I don't think this is so much of a problem so much as it's that my veiled is a goofball. I can hold my hand out and have a waxworm clearly visible on my palm and she'll flick her tongue out at my fingers first. She started eating my fingers for the first time when I was trying to warm up to her so I stuck my hand out to her. After staring at my hand for a few minutes she flicks her tongue at my thumb! I was in stitches, honestly. I hope nothings wrong because it's endlessly entertaining!

My male did that for a little while. I'd thought about it a bit, and usually a superworm will run to my fingers to try to dig through. If I held a wax or something else to him, and it didn't immediately move, he would flick his tongue to my fingers, which I figured was a Pavlov's kind of deal. I definitely don't think it is anything bad. . .but it IS entertaining!

Your fingers may look like a juicy worm to her lol. Veiled tend to try and eat everything given the chance...
