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
