Re: Help to stop biting?

I have a nile thats a few years old now and in the beginning I had the same issue ( without 10 sec of pleasent sniffing). I always figured that with regular handling he would come around. Also tried some other tricks I read about such as leaving a dirty tshirt (after gym tshirt) in the tank so he becomes used to my scent and dosent associate it ot feeding. Also read as they get older and bigger their increased size they feel less threatened by you. All of this failed for me. I now have a quite large miserable prick of a lizard lol. but still one of my favorite pets none the less (to the piont that hes tattooed over my right shoulder). I m not saying dont try but for my nile none of these techniques seemed to help. Good luck and get some good leather gloves lol.
