Well, my other ex (girlfriend this time) has been around him and he didn't seem to care, but she wasn't as enthusiastic about holding him as the exwife was. Yeah, he is very head shy, the one time i've actually held his head with any grip he bit me about 4 times lol. It seems that as long as i make sure he feels secure, he doesn't care what i do. It seems only when he doubts his security or safety does he seem to freak. He's never really been around anyone but me, my exwife and my ex girlfriend before i bought him. I have a feeling the place i bought him from didn't give him enough attention if any at all. He seems to have a sweet temprement but just doesn't know how to react to human contact. I got him from a local reptile shop, they were really nice and all but i don't think they really know they're animals. He just seems like nobody ever handled him much so i might be facing an uphill battle with trying to get him to mellow out. Oh well, i enjoy a challenge. I haven't been bitten in over 2 weeks so i think the worst is over, i just gotta have patience....

thanks for the help
