I just read a guide on how to tame them a little bit ago I can't remmebr where but here is pretty well what it said to me.

1) Get it used to your presence which is basicly when he will not run into his hide every time you walk by.

2) Get him used to your smell by putting your hand in the tank for a few weeks until he's not scared of it and doesn't consider it a threat.

3) Now it's his choice, his curious nature will kick in eventually and he will inspect what your hand is and hopefully climb onto it.

4) Start by only picking him up a little bit leaving him in his cage usually makes him feel more comfortable.

Thats pretty much what it said and it made sense to me I haven't actually applied it beacuse I'm very new to Savs.
And whoever mentioned the idea about the shirt I really like that and will try it once my savs a little older thanks.
