Hi Wayne.

There are always many factors at play. One is, who is suppose to benefit from allowing monitors out, or taking them on walks? Most say, its for the monitor, but in reality, its based on the keepers need/s.

Also, Argus are not from OZ. They are indo.

As you now understand, that conditions that support monitors is very specialized and not really available in a normal house. Or even on walks.(in most cases)

So if you have a supportive cage, any time the monitor is taken out, it actually takes away from the animal, not adds. THis is an important concept, and should be considered.

And yes of course it an be done without harm, IF the keeper knows what they are doing. But in most cases, the keeper is naive to what effect they are really having. OR they wouldn't do it.

Have a great day
