I would have to agree with Tom. Monitors are hunters/scavengers . Allowing them to hunt is part of letting them be a monitor. I have read it over and over and over on this forum .If he hides all the time hes being a monitor. Let him dig thats part of being a monitor.Dont cuddle under a blanky with him thats not what monitors do. Dont let them free roam your home thats not natural for monitors. I agree but surprise surprise monitors hunt and kill prey animals thats part of being a prey animal thats what prey animals do and thats whats natural for prey animals.Its called the food chain and if you cant handle it maybe you should keep a pet mouse or hamster instead of a monitor lizard. The only reason I would not feed my monitors live prey is fear of the monitor getting hurt or parasites.

Comparing someone to a sicko serial killer because they choose to feed a carnivorous reptile live food and share his experiances of that animals awesome power with others not forunate enough to witness it is idiotic. I was in the herp house at the zoo during feeding time and a keeper was feeding turtles live pinky mice . It was brutal but we both watched in fact everyone in the herp house watched . I even have a couple of pictures. Outside all you heard about was how awesome the turtle feeding was. I think the keepers name was Ted Bundy. How about that sicko cult they call the discovery channel filming all those animals killing and eating other animals then airing it for the public to see.

I hunt are you gonna tell me I shouldnt hunt because the prey animal might get a boo boo or experiance some fear ? That super sized combo meal you ate probably didnt feel any fear or pain when they put a clamp around his neck and blasted him in the head with a sledge hammer or slit his throat. You just keep on thinking that. I tell hunting stories also and take pictures.
