O.K this is it. The Monitor and Tegu thread. Anything goes within reason wether it be pictures of the animals themselves, their enclosures or questions and advice.

this is sampson ive had him since he was about 8inches he`s now 3ft and still growing fast ,to earn his trust i found the hands off approach worked for me when he was a baby i didnt handle him for months i would interact with him when i cleaned him out fed him and changed his water daily he`s allways been in the front room where theres people all the time so he`s allways been on show he soon learnt that we wasnt a threat and he calmed down nicely he`s never hissed tail whiped or bitten me ,
i love monitors ive been keeping them for about 3 years and can honestly say i will never stop

Excellent advice and wonderful looking Bosc. Well done my friend. I like that you explained a little about the animal and how you raised it too. Thanks.
