I know squat about monitors so I can't comment on that specifically but just wanted to say give it time and a ton of patience. Two months in the lifetime of your monitor (or any long living pet) is really next to no time. Remember these aren't pack/herd animals that are driven to make contact with other living things, especially human beings. We are in fact asking them to go against instinct and allow what they may well perceive as a predator, to handle them.
