imtaday nero did something that totaly shocked me she actually tried to bite me i was misting her down and she cameup by the spay nozzle i thought she was just going to lick a few drops like she usualy do but instead she started moving her head side to side like she was trying to see around the bottle and sure enough she launched after my hand but i was able to move it out the way she went after my toe then my big 65lb.pit bull managed to find his way into my reptile room and when she saw him she launched after him with full force and managed to get one of his paws he took off running out the room the last time i saw her was on tuesday and thats the last time she ate she been sleep every since so i was shocked to walk into the room and see her basking i fed her about 3/4 lb. turkey and 2 whole boiled eggs and after that she settled back down and i was able to pet her i think she has began to associate me with food every since i started feeding her larger rodents because its the only food she see's me offer her and a few times she has seen me with her food bowl which she reconizes also i think she put 2 and 2 together is there any way to break her from this btw she only eats while free roaming and if i touch her bowl while she is hungry she will rush me toungue flicking wildly so i know she knows i am the one who feeds her

get the food there w/o her seeing you, try taking her to a different food so she can stumble across it the key is to make sure she doesnt see you with food and you dont smell like the food she eats...
