Great video! I really appreciate that you put your videos online. I recently acquired my first two tree monitors, V. Macraei. They are both captive hatched imports and I was curious as to how acclimated to people they would become. Based on everything I had read and heard through word of mouth I thought at best they wouldn't run and hide every time I entered the room and maybe eat off tongs. I was nervous about stressing them out but after seeing your videos I figured I would try to be more interactive with them. Now, just like the other monitors I have kept they come to the front of the cage when they are hungry and are feeding from tongs and my hand. One of them even will crawl onto my arm and wait to be fed. I don't know if I will ever get them to where yours is but I am a lot more optimistic about the level of interaction I will be able to have with them. V. Prasinus are my next project down the road!
I hope to see more of your videos. You are obviously doing something right so it would be great if you could share some of your husbandry practices to compare notes with, ie diet, cage set up etc.
Thanks!
