What have been doing with my lewisi for the few months since I've had him is I sit next to his cage with my arm laying inside the cage fro a half hour a day. I have him in a 6ft vision and it sits on top of a cabinet which puts me at a perfect height when sitting in a chair. I don't just sit there and stare at him, as this would probably make him nervous as well. I will play with the substrate, read a book or hold some fruit or hornworms patiently waiting for him to get the courage to come and take it out of my hand. Well not so much with the horn worms. The desire for horn worms or super worms conquers all fear. In time you he will be coming up to you with much curiosity. First him coming closer just to get a better look, than at some point to lick you and later maybe a walk on your hand or arm. You could sit in your bathroom with him. This would be better because it's much smaller quarters then your room which forces him to be in your presence. But before all this you must gain his trust to get him to the bathroom because it won't do much help chasing him around in his cage, stressing him out just to sit in the bathroom with him. His experience must be positive no matter how small that experience or your progress with him is. They have very good memories and will not forget about you chasing them around the week before........dedication and patience......good luck
