I am curious what others with nile experience have to say about this. I to recently ended up with 2 baby niles. each no longer than a foot tip to tip. One of them is very laid back and does the same, when I approach and open the cage he will allow me to reach in and he will walk onto my hand, and cruse around. This weekend I even laid down and let him walk around on me and the bed which I could never do with my other monitors. I have had them for 2 weeks or so and are eating and aclimating well. The second of the 2 is much more nervous and shy and more of what I expected out of a nile. I am curious if they get nastier with age and size knowing what they are capable of. I do keep V doreanus as well, so I am not new to monitors but am to experience with niles.
