Monitors seem to naturally become quite easy to work with, unless they've been mistreated (which the import process is). I have never gotten a defensive bite from any monitor where I wasn't trying to restrain it. Sure there is lots of bluff, but if you respect them, it seems they would rather avoid a fight that wasn't necessary.



Some of my favorite monitors are hands off types. And I have no problems maintaining their cages, some of them are more challenging to move, but most will happily jump into a bin for food.
