I feed him goldfish, crickets, and pinkie mice. He is Very Skittish. Is there any other sugessstions on what i should feed him or how to tame him.
Thanks Josh

Timors don't really tame well they stay skitish their whole life for the most part. I have had mine for over three years and they are still very wary of me. I would wait a lot more than three days to handle it and even then handle it as little as posible. Once it settles in try feeding it from tongs, if you can get it to asociate you with food it will be less afraid. I would avoid feeding goldfish because of the parasites they can contain. Pinkies and crickets should be fine for now, as it grows you can offer larger mice.
Good luck,
Steve

Ive been told that wild caught timors never really get over being shy, and if its a captive bred, I might suggest feeding it insects instead of flesh, it may help in calming its temprement.
