so this morning i go downstairs to feed the chams and i see my male jackson sitting in front of his insect feeder cup and staring at it. now he has never once eaten a single cricket out of it but i still keep it in there just in case. well i could see he was hungry so i grabbed a cricket and he ate it right from my hand which is the first time! then i put crickets in the cup and he ate them right out of there also! im sooo excited right now

yeah im soo excited. he is about 8 or 9 months old. he has hand fed before but i held onto the crick to tight and he didnt take it so i think he got real pissed at me and hasnt even tried it for a month

Thats so exciting, something to bond over! Hopefully he keeps it up!

So cool! I've had my 9 mo old panther for 2 weeks now and his previous owners had only ever let his prey roam free in his enclosure. Had him cup feeding day two and now also hand feeding as of two nights ago. Exciting stuff! Even after just two days of hand feeding, he's coming right up to me when I open the cage.

sweet! yeah ive had my jackson for like 2 months or so and he is friendly when i get him out but he just doesnt walk right onto me. he would hunt food all the time but not till today did he eat off my hand or from the cup.

this post inspired me i have my guy(minion) cup feeding but he just wrapped up his second shed since i have had him, so i wanted to give him a treat(waxworm yum).
i walked over with one in hand (kinda ew) and he nailed it without hesitation

so thanks for the inspiration!!!
