Quick update on Igor progress guys!

Since I've realised Igor is quite cage terratorial ive changed my taming method to suit him better, it's slower and more on how he seems to be dealing with things,

So far he's been taking food from my hand, but today for the first time he sat on my hand, I was very nervous that he might bite me, but I let him on and gently tipped him into a bendy bridge twice and he seemed satisfied with it and I didn't feel overwhelmed either!

He sat twice and didn't bite I'm so proud, he's a bit of a biter so this development means a lot to me,

And honestly there is nothing like feeling that little life in your hands for the first time,

I'll keep up with letting him sit on my hand for a few moments till we are both comftable with lifting up while he's sat on my hand

I'm very proud!
