Ok well i got me a nile that is 8 months old. I bought him online from a breeder and picked him up at a reptile show that weekend. They told me he was 8 months and was not bad at all. Well... ok i took his word and got him, well the nile does not really care to much to be picked up, he will tail whip and hissssss while in the tank. But once you pick him up he calms donw a little than if you try to move some he will start trying to get out of your hand. He did nip my finger today he was trying to get away and i did not want to drop him.

I want to tame him down alot more than what he is, and well i heard sitting in the bathtub with him should help. Well is this true and how long should i do this for?
