>> A story, I met a couple who have a reptile park in the south of germany. They came to my house and wanted to see my monitors. I went up to one of my lacie cages and opened the door, much to my surprise, the lady reached in and kissed the big male on the lips. I thought she was gonner. Then I open the croc monitor cage, she did the same with the male croc. Hmmmmmmmmmmm simply amazing. As she left, both males leaned out of their cages and watched her leave. All I could say was, I will be danged. Both males really liked her. Funny but, its the female monitors that like me. The males alway want to play testosterone games. I guess thats as it should be. The males treat me like a male, and the females treat me like a male. PERFECT. This means they understand what sex you are, you can use that. Cheers

Frank I found this terribly interesting as we have this same dynamic in my home. Any female lizard living in my house WILL bite me. I have issues with my larger pythons as well. My husband on the other hand has an issue with the males. As I am primary caregiver for the reptiles here, I do tend to stick with males for my personal collection. Of course I have never seen a difference with monitors. But then again most monitors passing through my doors are severely ill savys.

I just find it a very interesting observation to see someone else make it. I have not run across many who can make this connection on their own, but I have worked with people who had the situation and didn't realize it.
