Try hand feeding 1-2 of the crickets or mealworms so that Flynn associates your hand with food.
I am still learning, but I want to thank Elizabeth, jess, and todd + EVERYONE else who has helped me so far. Thanks a ton:lol: :yahoo:
I put my hand in the tank again for a little while yesterday, but he didn't seem like he wanted to go to my hand. He just looked at my hand for a bit, but he didn't walk to my hand.
Would the cleaning method I said above work maybe? I'll probably clean his cage next time I'm at my dads. I feed him with tongs most of the time since he isn't that good of a hunter and misses when he strikes a lot of the time. Also, It's hard for me to catch them and cut off the backs of the crickets legs since they squirm around.
Instead of tong feeding him like I usually do, I hand fed him 4 crickets and 1 mealworm. (I just gutloaded 1 mealworm to feed it at the same time as the crickets like Elizabeth said a few posts up.)
