: As to what Harry's Dad asked,,,would like to know if this is your first ig?If it is,,,,start reading and reading and plan on a steady routine for your new friend.I'll post a couple of links for you to start reading.
: Second,as HD said about taming,,,time and patience are the key words.Try what we do with our new lizards,,,put one of your clean(rub it on your body)t-shirts in his cage for him to get use to your scent.Talk and move slowly at all times and try to move towards him at eye level not above him.
: Good luck and don't forget to start reading everything you can get your hands on.

: That is Jean Swoffards site.

Thanks for all of the good advice. I have all of the right lighting and heat, etc. I guess I just need patience. I am going to try the t-shirt thing. I have many other reps and haven't had this problem this long. But I will keep on going.:)
As far as his tail, it was healed over when I got him. I have had him since around December 1999. There is a ring around his tail above the break, but it shead all right. I watch him all over for that because he also had a burn on his side.
I really love him-he is my favorite lizard! Thanks again! KIM
