So called taming your monitor in any way is dangerous , they can bite & scratch , starting them young with any of the methods takes most of the risk out of it. I’ve been bit 3 times in 5 years all by young monitors, I’ve had no problems with my older ones & I make a point of never touching any of their food, never.
As for the vids when I see bigger percentage of savs of a more healthier appearance then my vids can be deleted for all I care, they were done to show what a sav is capable of & the fact their not just big clumsy reptiles. Thousands of these animals die every year from misunderstanding, most pet shops don’t have a clue how to look after them, everyone thinks the sav should be pancake shape, this is just my small contribution in the process of trying change that.
So as you rightly pointed out if your use food association / reward as a form taming always use long tongs & never get the scent of your lizards dinner on you. & I’ve not discussed the said video on any other forum & wouldn’t, I like sitting on the hedge!!
