Being Handled is More Fun Than Handling.

Since I had a 3 day debate with a follower of DWS about some old dog tame monitor rot, I figured I would post some pics of my female nile at mealtime. I believe food is the way to a monitor's heart, heh heh. I tried the daily "gentle" handling thing on this one for a while when she was wee little. It was not so gentle and she held a grudge for a good long time. Now after doing nothing but providing for her needs for a year and leaving her alone, she has finally comfortable enough to do her thing even when I am right next to her.

She lives with her boyfriend who is around the same age as she is, only he is about a foot longer. I don't think she is ready to take her relationship with him to the next level, but the boy sure as heck tries, ha ha ha. I got them both as babies. Both were about 10 inches sixteen months ago. The girl is four feet plus, the boy is five feet.

Thanks

Roger
