I recently got a baby Nile monitor...



And YES, i'm very aware of their temperment and tendencies-- But I have great respect for these guys, and enjoy watching them, but I would like to have something I can handle.



The Nile is pretty calm right now, I can take "it" out, although a little squirmy, "it" calms down within' a couple minutes. Right now, the tail whipping is cute because it can't do much, but I know when this guy gets bigger, i'm not going to be too fond of it... :-/



I've only gotten bitten once, and that was a surprise... I wasn't paying attention when I had him cupped in my hands, may not seem like a big mistake now, but I wouldn't want to slip up later on.



Just wanted to get some feedback from experienced nile monitor owners, and see what your ontake was as far as taming down a nile monitor, and if you had any suggestions, stories, or comments to share with me.



Once again, thank you for your time!!!
