Is this forcing him to climb on me?

A few days ago, I opened up spyros cage to feed him some hornworms. At this time, he was at the top of his cage and we basically we at the same height and in each others faces. Well, height wise. He ate all 4. But, when he was going to go hide at his plant, I stuck out my hand low enough so he could choose if he wanted to go on it or not.

He grabbed onto one of my fingers. With his front and back foot. Then he went to hide. I was really happy at the time but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I kinda forced him to come on me. I know I didn’t literally like force him, but it just kinda felt like it.

A few days later, basically the same thing happened again.

Also, this doesn’t have much to do with anything, but today I fed him hornworms again but I put it on my wrist this time and farther away from him. He took it, but a minute later, I instantly got an itchy and burning rash. Not sure what happened. I dont know if it was the hornworm or something else.


Also here’s just a picture of Spyro because why not.

No, I don’t think you forced him to do anything. He was simply taking advantage of the strange fleshy branches that were there.
About the itching burning rash after the hornworm - sounds like you may be allergic to them or possibly something in their food or poo (they walk on their food and scat). I would say to wear gloves when handling the worms and make sure to still wash your hands right after.
