just likes to watch YOU sprinting, haha! Anyway, just a thought...
I think he probably would. However, once he freaks - he's hard to read and to get to calm down.

I also got a rock cave hide - with a cave inside and small opening in the front so he feels really safe in addition to the other hides he's been using. That's an aside.

My friend Adam, at the reptile store I got Toref (through his breeder friend), said once he's in a hide, he will stay put, but if he's in the open, he could bolt, especially until he's more comfortable with me. He has a Kimberly Rock Monitor who he doesn't handle much and I've literally seen him catch him in mid air as that guy leaped from his tank. He is much bigger than tore is now and closer to Toref's full size, probably a little bigger.
