my male is almost tame-he likes taking crickets from my fingers,and is ok with being held.My female doesnt like being touched at all though-she will take the odd cricket,but usually gets defensive,hisses and mock bites-doesnt close her mouth,but lunges.Ive got some pics of him as hes growing up-I forgot how small he used to be,wow do they grow fast!

he seems like he doesnt really get what im trying to do when i pick him off of whatever hes clinging to,but i just poke at his feet,and try to keep my hand under him until he gets what im doing,and once hes on my hand hes fine.I dont play with him too often,usually its just to move him to a different spot,or to his food area.Hes kinda free range-he lives in the window and has a 5 gal aquarium with some sticks in it to go to and get crickets.Theres a branch on each side of the window ive clamped there for him to sleep on at night but lately hes been sleeping on top of the vertical blinds.The female has her area also in the window,but they generally avoid each other.She sleeps in a pothos plant near the feeding tank and hangs out on the bottom window ledge more when sunning.
Not sure if the lack of a cage helps with there tempermant at all,but i doubt it.The female used to be grumpier when she was small and lived in a cage.
