i like to put my little nile in the bathtub with enough water for him to swim but not too deep, i put on basketball shorts or work pants and sit on the edge of the tub with my feet in the water, when he wants out, he knows that i am his ticket back to his cage, and i am the only thing to climb out onto so it builds trust. use luke warm water, some people dont use water, i think it calms him down, then again some people dont like this method at all, just be persistent and patient with taming
@jeffjohnson801 wow you must wait a long time in the tub since these monitors love the water lol cause i have one and am going to try your method and see if it works
just handle him a couple times a week for 15-20 min intervals. and remember never come from above and grabs him or lift up his hide. use a scooping motion. end on a good note
i personally dont own one but im pretty sure that if u handle it every day it should be fine but nothing can be TRULY TAMED but it can get pretty close i believe this goes with any reptile...i own a snake
You can start by grab it... put your hand on the substrate and get closet to him little by little.... if he hizzes don't back up your hand because that's a defeat sign for lizards and willl think they dominate so get close slowly but sure and handle him until it comes down in your hands... do that repeatly each day
ok cool monitor, but really poor video. its a slideshow that lasts 30 secs & has no music. even poor elevator music is better than nothing at all

that guy looks closer to a dinosaur than almost any other reptile i've seen. Monitors are strange lizards.
That would be cool if they ever found a live mosasaur out there in one of the oceans. (its an evolutionary link between monitor lizards and snakes)
