im i think over thinking this but i want to see some input.
On friday i got a 12in baby nile. He was flighty as expected and was a handful getting in his cage. Everytime i even looked at him he went crazy. I wasnt surprised by his behavior, i was actually pleased with it because most healthy babies act this way.
Saturday morning i left to visit family, and came back sunday at around 11a.m. i figure it be a good oppertunity for him to settle in. But when i came back he was completely submerged in his water bowl w/just his nose pokeing out(hes in shed so it makes sense). But i was concerned because i moved the bowl expecting him to jump out and run like bat out of hell, but he just stayed in there. He even let me pick him up and take him out. Now he still backs away from my hand when he sees it but he doesnt go crazy like he did the first day he came home.
Im guessing it might be that he was freaking out when we first got home because he was really stressed, and now that hes settling a little hes showing his actual personality?
I dont know, i just want to make sure hes okay. Anybody have a suggestions? also any tameing tips are welcome!
