Did we ever figure out which species this was?

As far as the previous issues most have been resolved. The cage is 80.9 F humidity is averaging 40-53% I set up a mister so I can keep it regulated. (please let me know if it is off somehow) As far as the handling: I have left him alone for the most part since my last post (with the exception of feeding and cage maintenance that is) he seems to be comfortable in his new environment he's eating really well (4 pinky mice 1 fuzzy and about 70 crickets since my last post) he won't eat meal super or earth worms for some reason. But outside of that things are working out rather well. Thank you for all of your advice.

What kind of monitor is it?

Is it ok to start walking him on a leash for exercise or should I wait until he gets a little more used to me. I do understand he'll probably bite me when I put the harness on but I'm thinking it may help him to learn to tolerate being handled a bit more) what do you think??

I wouldn't advise it at all. Hard to understand exactly why until you've tried it

I had a 2.5 foot Savannah (he was stolen from my home in 1995) it took me from spring of 1993 - to winter of 1994 but I did successfully leash train him. (I used a 10' leash) Took him for a walk every day after work

Force handling will ruin any trust that you have built up already.
