Toref/Torefet: Varanus Tristis Orientalis/Freckled Tree Monitor

[Bogertophis]

You said it. Now I know to be careful with him, especially at this size.

I was very concerned, but luckily, for all of 3 minutes.

Thank you for the comments!

P.S. Not only is he fast, he's very fast while climbing. He made it up my arm, around my neck, down my arm, and leapt in about 3 seconds.

And yes - apparently he leaps!!!!!!!!!!!

One could even say he's "growing by leaps & bounds"... (ducks & runs for cover) but yeah, lizards can really deploy shock value. You got owned...

But maybe from his viewpoint, he wanted to make sure you didn't eat him? After all, you've been fattening him up pretty well, lol.
