Monitor Lizard Taming

Remembering that no monitor is truly tame as dog tame, she regards me as a neutral element in her life at the moment, i won't eat her/hurt her & i bring food, so she'll put up with me, note the tail whip between 2.44 & 2.46!

No, I`ll respectfully disagree, they LEARN we can be of benefit to them, and can be extremely responsive (personal experience over many years, with a number of animals and species)... They are highly intelligent, and the more trusting they become, the more their ability to learn shows...

But in order to do that they must first realize that we are indeed neutral and not a threat to them.
Otherwise we are just one more big "thing" that wants to eat them.
And that is not just with monitors but any reptile

Great video. Thanks for posting it.
Awesome idea with the clips to hold the food.

Stefan, i don't disagree with what you say, what i should of said is this point in her life she regards me as a neutral element been the species of monitor that we both know are highly distrusting of their captors.
