Wow I totally missed the good time to reply but I might as well throw in my two cents here. Seeing as of how young monitors are little monsters before they figure out you're the good guy, it takes time, a couple of bites and some gloves. What worked for me amazingly well was bathing him every day because they absolutely love baths in the tub. And while he swims his little heart out I hold him out of the water and just interact with him. After he is all done swimming, the little guy will be all tuckered out and won't even have any fight in him, making him incredibly easy to handle. Hold him for at least twenty minutes every time and it makes a world of difference. Also..they can sense it if your nervous about handling him. Best of luck!
