Vicious babies

now that the babies are all nearing nine inches, thay are starting to develop a bad habit. Everytime i stick my hand in their cage, they leap up and bite and hold onto one of my fingers. I dont know why they are doing it, they are fed round the clock, but it is very amusing and slightly painful . Any idea why they're doing this all of a sudden? Just thought I'd share

do you feed them meal worms from your hands from the top of the cage? get what im saying? They might be mistaking your finger for the meal worm and be going to grab for it and mistakingly bite you instead. Our babies did that after we starting feeding them meal worms liek that. Just a thought.

yeah I think that is what it is, and rather than mealworms, i always feed them freshly shed roaches, and i think thats what they think my fingers are, Gotta love em'

Well try not to feed them like that any more fo r awhile and see what happens. Instead just feed them on like a flat surface ( a table,bed or anything flat) just anything where they can see the worms or roaches move without your fingers being there. That way they wont associate your fingers with food everytime you go to hold them or pick them up.
