I tong feed my albigs and have found it to be the most helpful tool for working with them. I've NEVER handled/held my big male and have no desire to. He's too big and too heavy for me to hold, but had I not started tong feeding him from the minute I got him, I would most likely have a very pushy and potentially dangerous 6' monster in my home. As it is, we have a level of trust now and I can go in with him and do whatever I need to.
I never really wanted a 'tame' monitor, but more importantly, I didn't want a wild animal I had to throw food at to stop it getting too close to me.
Different strokes for different folks. You do what works best for you and your animals
