Monitors learn very very very quickly. Not to be offensive, but much faster then humans.
In 90% or more, of overly agressive feeders, its underfeeding. Monitors need fuel. They eat like pigs.
Most people who say things about overfeeding monitors, causing them to get fat, are in fact under metabolizing them. That is, they do not give them the heat to run a normal speed, therefore converting energy into stored fat. Another reason for "heatum and feedum". In order to act normal, they must be normal.
Back to the hand feeding, Yes they learn fast and become very patient. After you have done the, in the cage hand feeding, for awhile, you can lead him around the room and feed in certain places and only in these places. Its really interesting to see the behaviors they display. Keep it up, cheers
