Taming

[Loch]

I am so tickled pink. I've had my baby tegu for about a month or so now and the other day has been the first time he has eaten out if my hand. My last large reptile was an iguana that I had clicker trained, I have also. I've been clicker training and hand feeding my baby Columbian all of his meals from day one and he is coming along so well. He has stopped huffing at me when he sees me and calmly eats from my hand instead of the eat and run. I've had to use a special clicker for him since I've noticed if he hears the click go off when I'm working with my dogs he comes out from his hidey hole and looks around for his treat. Any who, I just wanted to share the success I've been having in taming this little fellow. Much love to everyone!

That is so awesome! What a great shot and a great feeling to be making some progress!! That's pretty great that the clicker training is working! Nice job!
