Hi Bob ! The training on taming him pretty much hasn't even started, he's still not used to his surroundings. I'm holding him daily at least 15 min , and petting him constantly. He hasn't tried to bite or hiss at me lately, just that when I come close, he curls up relaly tight .. and when I do hold him, he'd try to get away by scratching the crap out of me. One Good thing though, he's eating and pooping and drinking !! Woo hoo ! lol. I just want him to hurry up and get used to his new home and mommy so I can start with the handling more, etc

Have you tried taking a fine grit nail file to maybe take the burr off of his nails? I don't know the size of their nails relative to our beardies. I would assume they are a little bit bigger.

One more question, what's his diet like?

I havent tried clipping his nails, he's still wayyyy to skittish when I hold him. His nails are long and they have a stronger grip then beardies. LIke for example, you know how sometimes you hold your beardies and they try to get away and starts scratching your hand ? you'll end up with light scratches? well, with the monitor, the scratches are like scratches from bread knifes that draws blood. :shock: lol. He's still not eating much.. well not eating when someone's in the room, but right now he's eating a pinky a day. Pretty expensive, I tell ya! He wont eat any superworms ... hopefully soon he will

Sounds like you need to get a couple hamsters or a couple mice, and start letting them do their "thing". I used to have a breeding pair of hamsters and I had more lil fuzzballs running around in a couple months than I knew what to do with.
