We had a GREAT hand training session yesterday. Mardu walked across my hand twice, (once using me as a support to climb on top of one of his hides), and at one point, stopped and relaxed while laying his belly across my finger. I think he was walking and realized, "Oooh. That's warm. I'll just stop here for a bit." and stayed that way for a few minutes ^^.
He also happily walked across my fiance's hand, putting his whole body on him. He also partially sat on his hand while licking up some calcium from his dish.
We've been trying to be considerate and not try to pick him up just yet, and have made everything voluntary. But I'm happy with the progress we've made in just a few days!
He also had another feeding last night and we cleaned out one of his hides he came with...it occurred to me that I have no idea how long it had been since his previous owners had cleaned it :/. I also thoroughly cleaned the reptile carpet he came with, so it's ready to go should we need to clean his current one.
It was a good gecko day!
