Ackie Monitor Update. Finally Gaining His Trust!

[@Scales13]

Good to see Kaiju taming out.

[@jpslizards]

For a time I even thought about rehoming him but I'm very glad that I didn't make that mistake

At least he isn't super convinced your fingers are food, my ackie is determined to eat me. Frigging hurts too.

[@jpslizards]

It does hurt! Specially when they start trying to tear a piece from your hand lol

[@frognose]

@@jpslizards Yep, your guy seems like he will manage to differentiate food and hands with not much more work - at least didn't look like he was launching out to chase fingers or anything. Make sure you have lots of positive interactions that don't involve food at all and he will start seeing you as not just "bringer of food". The one I have is very confident and spent far too long with humans just feeding him and nothing else. Gonna take a while to get it through his thick skull that he can't eat me.

[@jpslizards]

@frognose thank you for the advice, I'll definitely do that!

[@LazyLinus]

how old is he?

[@jpslizards]

He will be 4 years old this September

[@caughtafaygo]

why do you keep saying "ok?"

[@jpslizards]

No idea, I used to say "you know" like 20 times in each video
