I'm talking about taking them out of the cage and hence playing with them thats what i mean when im saying there "hands off" as most people want to take them out and hold them like a cat.
The problem with CBB species is there are very few true CBB (besides Australian monitors ) as if you look at any classifieds ads its amazing almost every animal is listed as CB while the fact is they were WC and the person is just trying to make a sale. I agree with you on when having a large cage they can be rewarding species to work with but again most people think a fish tank is good for caging etc and thats why most animals die within the first year. I'm not trying to disagree just pointing out what the average person who is looking to get a monitor thinks.


I basically never take my monitors out of there cage unless im moving them to a new cage, trying to introduce them to another monitor, or taking pictures and the rest of the time there in their cage.
