i can understand where your coming from with that but i do not completely agree. although there is no real need to turn your monitor into a puppy, it is not something that is easily accomplished and can be looked at as something of value. more importantly having a monitor that is not only accustomed to dealing with humans but is some what 'tame' will make everyday life of both you and the animal easier. i have found that my animals appear to be less stressed by human presence (which is a common accurance in their living conditions) as well as the fact that they are much easier for me to deal with when caring for them. its not so much fun to try to reach in a cage to change a water bowl with a nice sized lizard feeling threatened and contemplating stepping up his territory defence to a bite. i do not however think it is necisarry to have a monitor that is so called puppy tame if that is not the owners perogitive. it can be compared to dogs as some people have house dogs who are trained to do tricks and such and other people have hunting dogs who live outside with a wild pack like temperment. its all in the preference of the owner.
