When Spike eats from my hand he shoots his tongue cannon from his safe distance

They are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I’ve actually added a female Jackson’s to my ‘wish list’ because I’d like to experience their personality as well.

Ya I was half expecting him to just bite the bugs in my hand. So cute. You still need to share a video of spike.

it seems like everyone overlooks the females because of their color. If you ask me, they have the sweetest personalities. The boys are out to prove how big and bad they are.

They’re extremely gentle and precise shooters. The amount of force is pinpoint and nothing like any cham so far in my possession. For 95% of the time I’m feeding my Jackson this way. He just likes to be hand fed.

Man is he the cutest! And yay it’s so exciting when they start to trust a little

It’s sounds like you have a very hard life

Owning a Jackson is like….

Agreed. The female are overlooked. I’d really love one though. I’m going to keep my eye out for a CB once my reptile room is done so I can stop overtaking my house with all my chameleon and bug stuff

Oh I love that! I would love it if my guy were the same. No expectations though.

Lol truth.

He’ll, just keep offering him hand feeding and he’s all yours

Yay!!! I've only been doing it ever few days because I don't want to stress him. I'm trying to pay close attention to his body language knowing they are more subtle. Once I notice he seems to be disinterested or nervous of me I back off with the hand feeding. Yesterday he ate out of my hand 3 times. Today was only once.

I'll give him a break now for a few more days before I try again.

Good approach! I need to confess Sonny was an almost adult rescue, which came free roaming in the car with me to his new home. There he went from stressful tiny unplanted glass enclosure to a large free range setup and the first feeder I offered him was a locust by hand. Free ranging will stimulate this behavior because you need to open a door and enter their physical territory.
