I don't have an Adult Sav, but will eventually, I rescued a sub adult a month or so ago, very agressive due to poor husbandry and being aggrivated by the previous owners. I can now put my hand in the enclosure and up to the side of its head and it doesn't bite, just slaps his head against my hand, just to show he still isn't quite warmed up to the idea, its alot better than the biting stage where he was when I got him. I still pick him up on a regular basis and he gets better and better all the time, hopefully soon I will have a nice adult Sav to show off!
