Some albigularus observations

Around a year ago I purchased a female albigularus, roughly 2 feet long at the time of purchase. She was incredibly shy for a very long time, in fact so shy that she would only accept food and eat it in her hide, only to come out and bask with extreme and total privacy; she spent most of her time in her hole she dug. Anyways; over the past week she has had a complete turn around. Varaciously hunting food and eating like theres no tommorow, absolutly no stress at all. I figured I'd post this to possibly help those who keep this species and even others (salvator's in particular which ive found to be very shy and difficult to acclimate) Give your lizard time to adjust, sometimes it takes 2 days, or in my case a year! they do come around, and letting them do what they're comfortable with is the best method of acclimation IMO.
