Hi again anthonyf78, if you read the OP`s post properly, you would have seen the monitor was NOT "attacking", the KEEPER was doing that by forced handling.
You may have kept reptiles for 20 years, you clearly know little about Varanids and their behaviour; they are by nature extremely wary animals, you cannot "break" them as you seem to be suggesting ("if they struggle, don`t let them go"?
Any attempt to do that will probably result in the untimely DEATH of the monitor from the huge ammount of stress caused.
Perhaps it might be best if you asked questions, rather than attempt to offer advise on "taming" monitors at this moment in time.
