Hi, thaks for that, I guess only time will tell really. I've had him out a couple of times now and done a bit of work with him in his viv and I think it's promising so far. I won't go in to it too much as I'll post an update on how I'm getting on in a few days or so, but it seems he's not to bad at all apart from the tail whipping every now and then, he's not shy about comeing up to me and only tail whipped at me once and that was half harted lol, he'll let me pick him up no problem infact when picked up he's really supprisingly calm and I asked his previous owners if he had always been so calm when picked up and they said yes he has, which is an amazing bonus for me. Having worked with him a bit I'd say the problem isn't as bad as I thought and I think he's aprox 80- 90% where I want him to be really, it just seems as though the tail whipping doesn't match the rest of his personality but I'll keep going with him any way and see if I can reduce the ammount of tail whipping at least, so far so good though, and I'm very hopefull. I'll keep an eye out for stressing him too much though as you guys have said and then go back to him at a later date if I have to. As mentioned I'll post an up date at some point so you and everyone else can see how I'm getting on.
Cheers
Martin
