Niles are tricky and very unique based on the individual. Mine when I first got him was very calm and relaxed, that lasted a few days when at proper temps/humidity in the right environment, he just wanted to be left alone. I worked on him extensively with tong feeding/trust building and he is now almost 4 foot long and completely handle-able, although he does whip a little, he really isn't bad.



Work with him, and see how far you get. I recently sold a very very nice little baby who behaved just like yours, very calm/interactive, no issues, we'll see if he stays that way!
