So, after my last taming thread I continued to hand feed my Syrians some treats and he continued to be fine with that. I tried to feed him some Sesame seeds out of my palm, I layed my palm out far away from him about 2 hours after he woke up. He approached my hand and I was still worried and unfortunately, he bit my hand and was close to drawing blood. Then I began to use gloves and did some bathtub bonding. I could scoop him up and he would walk from hand to hand with no problems whatsoever. After a few days of this, I removed one glove but he bit that hand too. Is there any advice anyone has and an idea why he won't bite the gloves but not my skin?
