hi i have been raising my nile monitor since he was a hatchling, he is beautiful, but ive been wondering about tips on taming/ training
he has never really been too bad especially for a nile, he never whips his tail at me. but when i first pick him up after his heat light has been on he hisses and bites me several times eventually he calms down after i hold him for about 5 -10 minutes. is there a technique to helps him calm down? also he flips out when he sees me reach for him he runs frantically in his habitat. he gets very scared and i hold him almost everyday.
is that because he is a baby and thinks im so much bigger so im a predator? or what.
just looking for suggestions i love miles and even if he became the meanest nile montior i still dont think id get rid of him.
p.s
he never flipped out or bit when he was a only about 10 in long
