Now my question is.. I understand how closing the eyes is a stress response. "maybe it will go away and leave me alone if I close my eyes because I don't want to be petted on my face"..

I'd like to know why those monitors pretty much willingly came out of their cages or were very curious and smelling everything.

Feeding response maybe?

I honestly want to know what the experienced monitor keepers here think if it.
As you stated - probably in anticipation of a meal.

As for the smelling - they do that anyway.
