Wow, who ever said, no monitor can be tame. In most cases they are very very very tame and curious animals. And can be very very trusting. They also naturally form pair bonds. Which means that can include you.



Sick and dying has nothing to do with being tame. Yes, undermetabolized monitors, appear tame when their not. Under metabolized monitors will become sick and die.



The problem is many people and you were included, called their sick and dying monitor tame. Whether it was tame or not was not the question. It was sick and dying, and that bore out, as it died shortly after I told you it was sick. Not because it was tame, but how it acted.



Lastly, you seem to have some underlying agenda(most do) so you are compelled to say this stuff, which is fine, Your just a little premature.



YOur history, you kept a Sav. for a period of time and all was well in your mind, then it died from poor support.



THen you regrouped and started again, your doing well, but again, to soon to tell. I do wish you all the luck in the world, but have some patience.



The truth is, monitors are the easiest dang things to raise in the world, the problems occur after that. Your not there yet. The measure of your husbandry has yet to reveal itself.



And I really do wish you well. Cheers
