A Pic of Knuckles Basking

GeRm Sep 18, 2003 12:34 PM

Hey guys, this is a pic of Knuckles basking, and as you can see he feels quite comfortable with the camera, I thought he would go crazy!

Well he ate about 15 crickets today, but still rejects hand feeding, so I have to use tongs everytime, I wonder if he still thinks I am going to eat him or not! Well he went psycho today when I put my hand in his cage to pick him up, and he jumped right to the other side of his vivarium! Yesterday he was ok with it, but today for some reason he freaked out and won't let me even get near him...I hope he gets more comfortable with me, I dont want it to be untame, especially when it gets an awful lot bigger...any tips?

Knuckles looks pretty big in the picture, but just look at the fake leaf next to him, he really isn't that big, about 6 inches from snout to the tip of his tail.

I am posting a pic of his vivarium tommorrow, come back and keep this forum nice and active!

Wow, you're right. He does look bigger than he really is. Just be patient on how scittish he is. Try to handle him every day and he'll get used to you.
