    Re: Baby won't eat outside of enclosure!!

    Thank you so much! I have a question though? Some people have been suggesting that I scoop him up from under his belly gently and place him in a warm bath and leave him alone for a little bit and then later come and offer my hand to him and see if he will come up. Also so many people say taming with food is a good way to get them to like you so I have been following someone who says that I should lure him into my hand with some food on the tongs of course and let him grab it and remove my hand I have been doing that but recently he has been rubbing his face on my hand and after a while he will try to nibble my finger he is very shy and runs away anytime I come near unless I have food which I know is normal for now but was wondering if there is anything else I could do to help him get comfortable with the sight of me I have been avoiding eye contact as he stays calm and doesn't care as long as I don't look at him around what time would be a good time to try and pet or touch him? I know he must get used to me first but I would not like to make him fear me again haha I have patience and have been following N.E.R.D's collab that he just did with Clints reptiles but I am not sure when to take my hand away right after he licks or wait so I dont scare I am not at all new to reptiles but this is my first monitor and I want to make sure I do everything right sorry for the super long reply
