I just got a juvenile Savannah Monitor from a friend, and he treated it very poorly, he didnt feed it, and when i asked to have him he said "sure, but its probably dead." he used to torture it just to hear him hiss.



so not hes very skiddish, he lets me hand feed him with tweezers but is still jumpy and doesnt like me touching or holding him. i do not force handle him b/c i dont want him more stressed. i also have about 6" of dirt with burrows for him to hide in to reduce stress. ill walk in and he will b basking but as soon as he sees me he runs to the burrow. i just wanted to know if im doing the right thing by slowly working with him or is there anything else i could do?
