recent WC tend to be more skittish. Rico is pretty skittish while my female is definatly not as much as he is. Which is weird since he is a LTC and the female is a recent import. But it all depends on the specific lizard. CB ones i have heard are really tame. Good luck, CB ones are becoming much more avalible.
Good luck

Mine is CB but as soon as i walk in to the room he is in he runs and hides i'm getting a cb female on wednesday if she is tame will she calm him down if not is there a good way of taming them?
also how should i introduce them?

Hum i have had mine together for a few monthes and no sign of Rico calming down much. A good way to tame them is to use SUPERWORMS they LOVE these even more than waxies which i fed before. i give one once a week except when brumating. they love them put one in between your fingers and let them wiggle around shoudl get them used to you. Alos handling just not too much id say 10-20 mins a day. Also you want to keep the female seperate to verify she is clean of all problems for about a month, then basically what i did was clean out the tank. Wash off everythign that was in there. Then rearrange it. Then i just put the girl in , rico did try to dominate her but she ignored him. i just kept an eye on them for about 1 hour to make sure thye were getting along.
Good luck!
