I have a problem with my oldest Tegu biting, he is about 6 months old and he loves fingers. I feed him outside of his cage and clicker feed him. He has learned quick but the problem is is he thinks that my fingers are food because I have the clicker in between my fingers, so he goes after my fingers and the clicker before going after the food. So now whenever I try to get him out of the cage or even just hold him he goes after my fingers and trys to bite them. I dont know if he is still hungry or what. Can someone help me prevent this from happening? Thanks
