hmm a nile? good luck with that one ussually a "tame" nile is a sick nile from what i've seen they are a spastic monitor at the least(thats one with a good mood) and of course then you got the bad mood niles that bite and claw at you....
oh ya welcome to redtailboa.net! im sure theres someone here that can possibly give you a few pointers on possibly calming him down a lil

personalities may vary, your results may not be the same as others

ok the disclaimer is out of the way.

Tame Niles do happen, just like Tame alligators exist. can you count on yours being that way ...NO. That cool cheap $20 monitor is gonna turn into a 7' irate feeding machine, that MAY tollerate your presence. Unfortunately people can read 99 different stories of how they don't make good pets, but they read 1 story of a totaly docile animal, and THATS the one they go with.

All I can say is keep working with it, so it gets accustomed to you messing with it. once he gets older your not going to be able to control him if you don't keep up with him. He may NEVER get to be tame and a lap pet, more than likely he wont.

Best of luck with it, dont give up.

Welcome to RTB!!

I know of 2 people with tame niles but about 20 others have monsters. The tame ones were calmer from the beginning from what I am hearing...be very prepared for yours not to calm down....and invest in some body armor

Kate's full name is, "Don't Kiss Me Kate. NO! Not On The Face Kate! No Kate, Please, NO!!" heh She will scratch, bite and tailwhip if anyone tries to touch her.
