Believe me when I say, and I am a carpenter so I have smashed the skin right off my fingers a few times wit hammers, I would rather smash my thumb full swing with a hammer than be bitten like that again. Actually we tried to pry it's jaws with a wooden paddle to no avail. I think what you said about the monitor not being familliar with me is probably the answer, as I did not handle any food items prior to the incident.
It's nice to hear someone with some praise for niles for a change. I have raised two from very small and have really enjoyed them. They have taught me a whole lot about when to and when not to handle them. Usually they tell me not to, ha ha ha. Now and then I inspect them for injuries since they are in a large enclosure with lots of stuff to climb, dig and swim in. I wait untill they are in the water and nice and cool first.
