hey guys,
i was just wondering how people go about taming their lizards if they're flighty when you get them. these central netteds i have can be quite flighty at times and the big male hates me ever since i had to pull him out of the cage against his will lol. at the moment i cant trust em out of the cage cos they will just bolt so i've been trying to just kinda pick them up in the cage so they hopefully get used to being handled. does anyone have any ideas as to what i could maybe do to tame them down? i've only had them for 6 days too so i know i'm probably posting a little early anyway lol. the thing is that the big male let me pick him up and walk around with him the day after we got them but then he freaked out that one time and is now really not liking me!
the other thing is that the smaller male doesnt seem to be eating :?. all the others go mental when the insects go marching in but he's just not interested. i was planning on taking the big male out to see if he would eat when he's not around but he's not being very compliant lol. they are in a smallish cage atm until i can get the new one up and running (probably tomorrow) so maybe he feels he has no personal space :lol:
thanx in advance
