Re: Toref/Torefet: Varanus Tristis Orientalis/Freckled Tree Monitor
Just give him time. I had Nile and Savannah monitors that did the same. Tank the Gila is just starting to accept me. Been about 3 weeks. Dozer though is very social for a Gila. Try wearing a leather glove or shirt all day to get your scent and then put it in the cage.

Thanks for the boost of confidence, Sauzo.
I thought of a t-shirt, but haven't tried it. Good idea.
Thank you again.

Glad he didn’t manage “the great escape”...good catch. Sorry to hear about the additional gift...maybe he was marking you as his? lol
Re: Toref/Torefet: Varanus Tristis Orientalis/Freckled Tree Monitor
Really glad he's ok Dave

When Toref smells food, he goes a little nutty! He usually climbs all over the place before settling down and eating.

The food was in the tank. He was doing his pre-food exercise :).

Really! I thought he was just smelling food outside his home, he was all over the place...pretty excitable fellow.
