on the whole they are nott too bad to handle - certainly no worse than any other 5ft plus lizard !!! .. the two males have great temperaments .. the big one is coming round to my way of thinking, the smaller - bruce (4.5ft) is perfect .. I let him wander round the downstairs of the house (he's got pride of place in the dining room).
The only thing is that if they are not in the mood for handling, then you don't handle - i've been bitten by three of them already ... and have no intention of repeating the expereince !!
The one on the classifieds is Bruce's brother and about a foot longer ... in the flesh its an awesome animal and the tamest monitor that I have come across .. if I had the space then it would join my collection (if it doesn't sell it will join my breeding project!!!).
Hopefully I'll have some babies for sale in the near future.  |
