As someone who works primarily with mammal cooperative care and science based training methods, it makes me so happy to see this expanding to the reptile world! Great video!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great video! Thank you. I'm outside enjoying the nice weather, I found a tiny jumping spider, and he was definitely checking me out. I have a few cultures of springtails to seed my bioactive enclosure and decided to try and feed him. Well, he/she ate and watched this video to the very end while jumping all over my hands 😅 I thought you may find it funny that you have a new spider fan 🤣🕷
Very cool, I was skeptical at first to the benefit of target training in order for reptiles to make a choice (first thought was that the microchip worked only because the retic was distracted with food) However, I'm really curious about how far you can push a reptile to follow a target without reinforcement. Also, I really find it important that I hold my snakes, something that's generally stressful for a lot of snakes. I wonder if target training could help with the stress, or if it would result in me being bitten.
Awesome work, you two!!!! ♥
Thank you so much!
Wonderful lecture.
Glad you liked it!

@@Tori-Lowry5 thank you I’m glad you like it
This is amazing! I’m going to give target training a go. Why stress them if we don’t have to? Gold as usual. Thank you 🙏
@@KirstyMPearson thank you ☺️
