Ok, Got a situation
Well, I have had my monitor for about a week and I decided to start putting my hand in the tank to see if he would come up to it. I know you aren't supposed to watch him but I was out the corner of my eye and thank God I did. He walked up and licked it and then I saw his mouth open so I obviously pulled it out. How am I going to get him used to me without losing a finger ( or worse ) ?

Well, I put my hand in there before I offered him food just incase he got a little carried away and he didn't bite but he walked up flicked his tongue and opened his mouth. Then me being stupid again I put my hand in there again after feeding and he just licked it a few times, walked away and licked it again. I just dont get him?

Oh, Yeah. The first time I think he was going to try but after he ate he was more into checking me out but it did give me a scare with him opening his mouth and trust me, It's a BIG mouth

It's really freaky when they do that
I have to use gloves with my baby sav, hes still VERY crazy and tries to bite. Can't hold him for longer than 15 seconds without him trying to hop ot of my hands

was it an aggressive nip or kinda like a little taste? thats how they test you. he probably wasnt being aggressive at all.
