Another thing is to watch how slow and sluggish they are, that is anything but the normal. If you don't believe me just watch infernalis's videos and see how much thinner and energetic they are. Also his blackthroat barely moves in ALL of his videos. If he does, its in slow motion.
I couldn't agree with you more.....

When I try and tell people that a healthy monitor should not be keen on laying on a person while watching TV, I get flak for it.

My little beasties run all over exploring everything, yes sometimes the pace is casual, but the moment I pick one up, the squirming begins.

I think that seems more "normal" for a wild animal.
