So far, the neonates are a joy to work with. Its interesting to see there is a behavioral difference between wild caught and captive hatched. The neonates feed all the time and any time.
If you remember when I was heavy into varanids, I always considered founders as temporary, that is, the animals I wanted to work with were the captive hatched offspring.
The founders were not a problem, that is, they all fed and moved to mice right off or within a few feedings.
The little male is still a MALE and does his male thing. The females are totally nice and rarely hiss or act up. They are not touchy in the lest, for instance, after posing that little girl with her parents and a couple other adults, she fed as soon as I put her back in her cage.
