That's inciting fear into the animal and you'll never be able to work with it properly. Quite honestly I believe in a hands off approach with these larger animals. They never quite tame down but they won't come and try to rip off your fingers.

99% of all "tame" monitors are just stressed out to the point of slow-moving long term illness.
