My Argus learned how to bite

I finally picked up a 1 month old argus moniter. I know these are typically fussy moniters all the hissing and such. I have read about these for the last couple of months, but am courious on a specific question I have. About how long (or if) does it take them to basically stop biting? is it an age thing more than being worked with?. I work with him occasionally throughout the day, but today he figured out how to bite. Kind of strange how he gos about biting, first he will look around and then look at the target Me, and then actually take a second or two seconds like its thinking, then bite. I am used to and expected a little more of a warning like opening its mouth in my hand
