Both my Ackies handle really well and will walk up onto my arm and sit on my shoulder without any issues. One of them always freaks out if he wanders onto anything else though. You can sit on the floor with him sitting on you for 30+ mins only to have him calmly crawl onto the floor then go running off and being skittish for no apparent reason.
Even without people around he does the same thing, I left the enclosure open and hid out of his view once, he voluntarily climbed onto the floor took a few steps then went crazy as usual.
He's still pretty young, about 5 months old now. Any suggestions to get him to be comfortable outside his enclosure? Or is it just young monitor instinct that subsides as they get older? The funny thing is if I'm home and don't let him out for a little bit each day he gets grumpy and scratches at the window non-stop.
