is it true that if i constantly handle my nile.he wont be used to other people trying to touch him.Because i hold my monitor alot,and when my sister tries to touch him he hisses:) :ROFL:
 
Possibly...not necessarily an expert on Nile behavior, but I'm sure he's become somewhat familiar with you and your scent. If she spends more time near him, he'll probably learn to get used to her as well.
 
as long as he is handled he should be fine around other people
 
I'm not sure that's something to really laugh about.. only a matter of time before that hiss could turn into missing fingers.
 
just keep holding him, and be thankful that hes even letting you hold him even a little bit. My nile wont have anything to do with being held. its a PITA to change his cage haha
