I can now approach and rub him without picking him up (that still gets him in a tizzy).I approach with a closed hand and rub his chin with my knuckle and then slowly extend my finger and rub his belly and back legs. I am feeding him three wax worms by hand each morning without tongs and he is still snapping and hissing , but I think we're getting somewhere. I think he may be getting the message that I'm a tough old broad and I don't care if he bites me.

Tonight Issey as I approached him with my closed hand, crawled up on the back of my hand. There was no hissing and his mouth stayed closed. yippee! thanks for all the encouragement.
