"You sure he didn't find your stash of everclear ?"

Ha! Ha! I woke up too many times in practically the same position as the sav in the pic so I had to quit drinkin' that stuff. Whew! After over 16yrs dry & clean I'll bet that one "tall boy" will do the same thing to me now. Hahaha!

But your right about the playin' possum thing. Daniel has a photo in his book "The Savannah Monitor Lizard" of a sav on it's back & curled up to one side. It's an amazing photo.

When I first got into monitors I tried force-handling my young nile. After a few minutes of open-mouth display & trying to bite me while I was "petting" it, it calmed down & I thought I was getting somewhere. When I went to put it back in it's cage it played possum and wouldn't move an inch while still in my hand. I had to dump it out of my hand & it still just laid there motionless in the cage for several minutes.

I seriously doubt that monitors will ever be domesticated. They ain't wired for it.

Catch ya later!
Mike
