Here are some pictures of my rough neck monitor... first time posting images on here so hope it goes to plan :s







Not got any full body shots I'm afraid... he's about 2.5 foot I'd say, not totally sure as I haven tried to hold him in place for a full measurement yet lol. He's not the kind of guy who likes to be held at the moment, and while i'd worked with him in the shop I worked at (keeping his nails trimmed, cleaning enclosure etc), he'd already done a fairly good job of ripping me to bits lol.

So I am taking it slowly with him, had him about 2 weeks or so now I'd say, and started letting him roam around the room today. So far I had just let him step outside his enclosure a little during feeding to get him used to me, but today I decided to let him out without any food. After a while he got a bit too confident lol and tried to climb my shelving unit housing a few of my small gecko species and my hatchlings lol so I removed him by picking him up and he didnt put up a struggle... I think I am getting somewhere fast with this little fella.

Shall keep you updated and I hope you like the pictures Very Happy
