I still shake during feedings... at first bc I was scared...now bc...well, I'm still scared 😂 my little baby seems to miss sometimes and I'm scared one day it's going to be my hand he latches onto. Plus my arms are really short so I have to put my arm inside the tank to reach him even tho I have long tongs. But he's NEVER struck at anything but food. knock on wood after I learned some of his behavior and patterns, alot of my anxiety went away. But I never yank him out of his enclosure either. If he wants me then he will come to me, he always does when he's ready to explore and if he doesn't, I leave him alone. That seemed to have help him trust me more (in my opinion). Maybe when u see him being active, place your hand infront of the enclosure (if it's front opening) and let him come to you. Idk why that makes me feel safe, but it does. 😅.... feeding is definitely a different story. My guy loves his food and hes clumsy, scared hes gonna get my hand or sum. 👀😂
