I've had a baby nose be for 3 weeks (about 3.5 months old). He seems happy, his colors are bright, he hunts and eats the crickets I put in the cage. I'd say so far, so good.
He's shy though, won't climb on my or my daughter's fingers. I got some meal worms as I read they make a good treat and are a good way to tame chams by hand feeding them. However, every time I bring a wiggly meal worm in front of him, he turns completely black, gets on his hind legs, opens his mouth and sometimes even attacks my fingers and bites me. One time I managed to drop the worm in his mouth, he ate it, but they still freak him out.
If I extend a hand under him or get my fingers close to his face without a worm, he looks at me and sometimes walk away, but never turns black or bites.
Is that normal??
