And that bad habit is thinking my fingers are food when I clean his water dish or poop. There any way to discourage a monitor from running over thinking your hand is a lovely food item?

And yes, I do feed him first before I stick my appendage in his cage. He's still "a baby" and I'm not sure if this is his way of "testing" like a shark would, and it doesn't hurt NOW, but most certianly will months from now. I've heard before that if you let them bite you now when it doesn't hurt, they'll remember your not food, but the food giver, and not to bite you because you taste horrible. Haven't tried it because it seems kinda silly in a way.
