Our Black Throat Monitor, Godzilla has become quite affectionate toward me and Chuck (my fiance), after 3 mths of earning his trust. He is relatively young, between 8 and 10 mths old. I had set up his tub in our room and was letting his soak while I cleaned out his enclosure, the look of pure extacy on his face when he sinks into the warm water is so cute! I guess he was tired of soaking and came over and laid down on my feet (I was standing at his enclosure), and then all of the sudden I feel a little tickle at my ankle. I look down and he is softly kissing (nibbling) at my foot. It was in no way aggressive or a bite, the best way I can discribe it is little love pecks. I mentioned this to Chuck and he said he was doing it to him just the other day. Has anybody else seen this behavior before?? Or do we just have a very loving lizard???

Got before on this subject, regardless of the fact they are not kisses and how much you would like them to be, you need to understand it is a monitor, it does as monitors do.
