Sai my Extreme Giant (Chaco White Giant)

[karljr2k4]

My hatchling wont eat ground turkey either, but I decided to try beef heart and beef liver which she really likes. Also is like $1-$2 per pound.

well i tried chicken live and he loves it! can i make this a everyday thing? or is the beef heart and liver better for him?

what do you mean the works are for his substrate?

I am making a bio-active substrate

from Samsung Galaxy S3

I don't think there's anything wrong with offering it daily, however, I would encourage you to continue offering a variety as well.

so i have a problem. i have been doing this taming of sai and i thought it was going well.....today i came home from work and when sai saw me he ran into his hide (which he never does) so i thought that was strange. then after i went and get him out for his soak (because he was shedding he actually BIT me.(again which he has never done). he is now 1 month and 1 week. an i doing something wrong?

well you made the mistake of retrieving it out of its hide. you shouldn't retrieve the animal out of its hide because, because their hide is supposed to be their place of safety

I would agree. Never pull them out of their hide. Ruins the trust.

 

[karljr2k4]

ok i understand what you are saying. but how am i suppose to tame him if i can not get to him? it seems counter productive.

 

[chitodadon]

Give him time stay by the enclosure keep your hamd in there give him a shirt the u wore for a fee days

This is why I like front opening cages instead of glass tanks. One thing that worked with my leopard gecko was just putting my hand in there everyday and moving around. I did that with Camilla in the beginning. (Still trying to get her used to me rubbing her head, lol) The animal honestly has to recognize you has safe, Come in slowly from the opposite end of the tank. Let them come to you and investigate, It is honestly just going to take time. Just be patient.

Front opening cages are really ideal. I noticed how quickly my bearded dragon came around after moving her from a 40 gallon tank to a 3ft enclosure.

I like Underground...they do good videos. I feed Merle, ground turkey, salmon, tilapia, catfish, and rainbow trout. as well as the occasional F/T mouse. Merle loves him some salmon!!!

Hey all! i just wanted to give an update on Sai! he is growing so fast! hard to believe he is only 2 months! so he has calmed down alot! he no longer eats bugs. i tried his Fav (crickets) and he would not eat a single one. it was a happy day for me! now he eats scrambled eggs with fruits and veggies. ground turkey, and talapia. and once in a while i will give him some liver. here is a few pics of him.

 

[Liz Herrera]

Wow!! he is huge for 2 months or at least compared to my chaco he just turned 2 months not that long ago.

 

[Logie_Bear]

I LOVE the little spots going down his sides. Looking great!

 

[jtrux]
