Baby Corn A.K.A Couch Potato

[klvan]

We have a 14 inch baby corn. He is very health, eats well etc. However he never comes out during the day. He is my sons pet (really mine) and they rarely see him if not peaking in his hide box. After much reading, I know they are mostly nocturnal. I am not doing a lot of handling yet. Small amounts. What I do is take him out of his hide box, let him sniff my hand and then he starts exploring his viv alot. Do you think that if I keep encouraging him to explore in this way, he will become less skiddish? Or, is he going to be a couch potato during the day by nature?
