Posted by monitor_dude on May 07, 2003 at 15:34:12:

I bought a tiny baby Savana monitor about 3 weeks ago. Wish I had a pic, even tho most of the babies look about the same. He's on mostly crikts right now with a few occasional mealworms and such. He's about 5" long or so and tries to flee whenever I try to pick him up or handle him. Any suggestions on how to get him more used to me? My brother also has a savana that's a little over a foot long. It had a broken from leg when he bought it and it's fine now. He said his monitor (Monte is it's name-o) didn't try to get away from him much when it was younger. Anyway, any handleing tips would be appreciated, thx.
