Gecko "hand" feeding

[ewurm]

Someone mentioned to be wary of the animal getting a mouth full of potting soil while catching insects, so I tried catching the insects with tongs and holding them in front of it, which was successful. The little bastard snatches them directly from the tongs. Thanks for the tip.

Yea I love feeding with tongs, my Patternless Leopard Gecko however gets really greedy and usually takes the tip of the tong as well when I try and feed her with them.

Thats good you have it comfortable enough to feed with tongs ewurm, very cool. Would have thought it would take a bit more time. Obviously not to shy then. Some pictures coming with this news?

I hate bugs. If I get some worms, I'll try it.

I hate dealing with bugs too. So I will stick with my tongs.

I love hand feeding my LG's. But the male has a bad habit of lunging for the food and getting my fingers instead!
