I just got a new baby blackthroat, hes eating good and seems so tame, but I am only used to keeping nile monitors so I guess this should be cake If anyone has any good suggestions, please feel free.

heat him up and see how tame he is after a couple good meals and a nice hot basking site

Yea,,, thats cool. I wouldn't want to say that in the future it is not possible for an attitude change but from what I have seen in monitors, there is no ill temper I can sense in this young one. The force is strong

I meant to say that it is possible his attitude can change and most likey will as he grows. I have it setup so that he/she is close to me most of the time.

beautiful baby! I hope you are ready for this:

and this, much sooner than you think!
