so i thought it would be easier taming a baby rather than an adult, but so far i have been dead wrong. this is my first egyptian and my first uro baby, i have never had one this small

ok, i have covered all of xoco's views from the bigger lizards. he can't see out of any side except for up. should i change that and let him see out of a side and somehow make the top opaque.
he hides alot in the warm cave but he also eats alot so i don't think he is overly stressed, i mean, i know i am alot bigger than him, but he hasn't really caught on at all that i am not going to eat him.
in the last month the only stride i have made is that after i pick him up and he stops wiggling, i can take my fingers off his back and he won't run, as long as nothing in the room moves but then again, he bit me today, so i am doing something wrong.
should i just wait till he is a little bigger and then try again?
