I have had Toref, a freckled tree monitor, for almost a year now, and I am considering re-homing him.
He's a wild child and has not calmed down at all in the past year. He's defensive and scared and the only reptile I have that I can't handle and don't trust. He's a lot of work and isn't even a display animal since he hides every time I come in the room.
Below is the link to where I address re-homing him specifically.

My question is, what do other reptile keepers think about re-homing an animal that's a poor fit?
Am I giving up on him? I am doing wrong by him?
I think that's anthropomorphizing, but I have yet to re-home a reptile as an adult (me being an adult - not the reptile). I've stuck with animals even if they didn't turn out exactly how I expected.
Any thoughts are welcome.
