Hi again antwon, it IS possible to have a "tractable" monitor, as I`ve said, it`s time and LOTS of patience, and if it happens, I believe it benefits the animal(less stress in the tiny box of dirt we ALL keep them in).
Food is your best "weapon" in getting the monitor to acclimate to your presence, but that will not happen unless the animal feels completely secure in the enclosure FIRST, that`s his/her "safe zone".
Have you seen MDFMONITOR`S video "Building trust" If not, I`ll PM details of where to view it if you`re interested?
