yes i did get him from wharf how do u get that. yes he is getting very calm i handle for about 1hr every night only been bit once. tho Dave at wharf told me before i seen him he was an ornate but that's not the case. he feeds very well and is growing at a nice rate.

That was my animal - that's how I know !!

I selected him from about 25 freshly imported hatchlings - that was by far the best of the lot.

He's come on brilliantly - I always knew that it would !

He was always very calm as a hatchling and I handled it an awful lot, but it got to 18" and temperament suddenly changed - it became very very aggressive - not defensive, but down right aggressive .. There was absolutely nothing that I could do with it at all. That was one of the reasons why I got rid of him.

glad to see that he's settled

so when did he start to get aggressive i have dealt with a few different monitors and have been fine with them telemeter wise. when i get him out he huff and puff a bit but calms down pretty fast he was aggressive when i got him tho.
