@MedicMan1 That's funny you say that, my cham was the same exact way with handfeeding. I made a post about it at some point. They all hate feeder cups, but my one would only accept food from my hand. It took awhile to change that. I had to always have my hand near his food. You're lucky your guy even eats roaches... or eats at all though lol, my 9 month panther has been on a long hunger strike. And when I show any of them a roach they look offended that id even suggest something so crazy.
I couldn't agree more about learning the animal's personality though. When *keeping* an animal we need to do everything on their terms. We all loves these animals but sometimes we as people, forget that it's our goal to live and work with them, not own them as toys to show off(not accusing anyone in this thread of that!, just speaking in general)
My aggressive baby is funny. I offered him a hornworm and he bit it out of pure anger, then realized it was food. When they're young they're so active and fun to watch hunt, then they get older, complacent, and lazy.
Anyway it's so rewarding working with all different kinds of personalities and learning what each of them respond to. I actually like their attitudes(not making them angry, but the general feisty demeanor)
