Help to stop biting?

[reptiledude987]

The terrarium is 8'x3'x4' and hes around 3' head to tail. Hes got tons of space just got a real attitude problem. None the less I only go into his terrarium once a weak to clean and try to make it as stress free as possible. I'd say typically I only have to actually take him out once/ mth to do what needs to be done. When hes up on his big high branch hes fine with me going in (just puffs himself up a bit).

Oops thought you were the op with the BT. You've got a Nile..... Enough said. Lol. I've seen very few calm niles, and they were still pretty unpredictable.

Ya that what I've seen as well from everything I've read lol.

The only issue with putting my hand in and letting him smell and check me out is that he sits there smelling me then eventually bites me. If I pull away before he bites he just continues thinking I'm dinner. Do I let him bite me?

It wont hurt him if he does lol. You on the other hand....

I'll prolly not be any help here as my rudi is as calm and curious as can be, but does he let you tong feed him? When my boy was young he would flip out and hiss If I went near him, but gradually through tong feeding he warmed up to me fast. I like to cut his food up for him to draw out how long feeding takes. Chicks get their heads and feet cut off and I feed each piece one at a time. When I get him close enough and his mouth is full I can stroke his back and pick at his shed. But again, I'm just a noob with a monitor that'll let me hoist him up with little warning. On the rare occasion I do he gives me this look that says "I suffer you to live".
