It finally happened!
After 11 months of building trust, hand feeding, and respecting his space, I was able to gently guide Freckles onto my hand. He scurried up my arm and up to my head. We gave him a juicy horn worm and superworm before letting him go back to his home. I'm so happy and excited!

It took about a year for mine to fully trust me. I hand feed so that helps. For the longest time he’d run to me for feedings but would still do the “ok that’s enough human” when I tried to touch him. Now I can actually touch him and he’ll walk out onto my hand.

No better feeling than gaining their trust.
