Ok almighty reptile people. Reread my initial post. At the end i said that a lot of reptiles, varanids in particular, dont ever warm up to handling. I didnt mean to suggest "holding it down" or "restraining" on a daily basis. I simply meant frequently attempting to interact/handle could improve his dimeanor towards the keeper. Also meant that if he reacts aggressivley, that simply putting him back every time is just reenforcing the lizard to bite each time to be left alone. After awhile, if nothing has improved then my thoughts would be that this one might just not be down with being handled much at all.

Now, c'mon, attack me more....its entertaining.
