I decided to offer a roach instead of a mealworm like usual and I used my shorter tongs because they have better grip. I put the roach in there and moved it a bit and then WHAM. The T turned around so fast and had its legs on my finger, ready to chomp. I got pretty startled and my own jerking motion scared him off. He did end up taking the roach though, picky little guy. I am happy to see him eat finally. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
