Handle the animal frequently. Have a routine, so that your monitor knows what to expect. There are absolutely no guarantees. There is no formula for turning niles into lap lizards, nor should they ever be considered as such. Never, ever, lose the respect and caution you should have when handling your juvenile niloticus. You are the owner of what will become a VERY large animal. The best you should hope for is a relationship of tolerance - not tame. You may end up with a relatively calm animal, I hope that you do - but be prepared for an animal that at best, will not try to take your arm off when you interact with it. Best of luck, hope you both end up happy with the arrangement.
