Hi, they aren't "aggressive", they`re defensive, which means they react to a perceived threat, in this case, YOU, in the monitor`s mind you are a predator. You MUST allow the animal to completely acclimate to the enclosure, if it doesn`t feel secure in there it won`t feel secure with you "trespassing" in that space.
At this time you need to provide the conditions that will support the animal, can you give some details of those: Type and size of enclosure, temps, humidity, substrate, etc? Thanks!
