Hey gang. I made a post about two months ago about the savannah monitor that I was getting. Well, I got him and he is healthy and flawless(hes a baby). BUt He is EXTREMELY cautious. As in, I walk up stairs into the room he is kept in and I see him out on his basking spot, but then he freaks out and scurries back into one of his hides. I've had him for almost two months now and I've been trying to handle him with my bare hands and with gloves on (he sorta bites too), Any tips on going at it? I'm trying to be patient but this is a bit frustrating. And I've heard that savannah monitors are the most docile type of monitor (which is one of the reasons I got him). I mean, I reach into the tank with my gloves on, slowly, and he totally freaks out and runs all over the place. Heh hes quick too so its pretty hard to catch him. If I have him cornered so he can't run, he lunges for a bite. Please help me out!![]()
