Lets see if we can take another approach. Ok, When you walk it outside, whats the temps?



I have the strangest feeling that you may not understand what normal temps are for these types of animals. To put it simply, really hot. If its not 90F or above, its not of any benefit to the animal.



To think about that, your running your animal is a middle gear, and I imagine, that eventually kills them. As that is how they get fat. Not enough heat to burn those calories. Which also means, not running at full speed. At full speed, I would imagine you could not catch it. Again, from someone who has chased a few monitors in his day.



These types of reptiles do not come out in the open unless they are at full operating temps. To not be at those temps is stressful. As they know they cannot run.



Anyway, the case is, every person who did what your doing in the past has lost their animal. Hence the warning. Not got away, but died. And died soon, within a year or two. Which is very premature for a medium sized varanid.



What I do not understand is, why do you keep going on and on about yourself. If I hated those folks who lost monitors, I would hate everyone including myself. So stop with that junk.
