Calming down Harvey
This is Harvey. He is a gold spot Varanus timorensis, and is about 16 inches long. He has been living with a slightly larger water monitor for the last year. I recently acquired him, and am having to treat him for a nasty wound on his chest, that I assume came from fighting with the water monitor. I was curious if anybody has any suggestions for ways to calm him down...he has never really been handled, and is still very very frightened of humans. I've been trying the traditional stuff that I've used on snakes, but he just seems to be too scared. I would really like to calm him down before he gets much bigger. Anybody have any ideas?
