well i got it yesterday it is about 2 1/2 feet seems to be in perfect health.never been held in its life im told never had nails cut fed live food im told....<

. last night he sat in the tank and tail whipped and hissed at any movment but today i held him all day and bathed him tried unsuccesfully to feed him and after the 1st attack he made.. not fun with no gloves he is now stopped hissing and he let me give him a belly run as he slepped on my chest on the couch he actualy closed his eye and gave a few little cat naps when i put him back in his cage just now he just gently slipped off my hand into his pool slowly swam across to his cave and is chilln. his nails are so sharp they stick in my skin right through my sweater going to cut them asap. he seems to really like getting pet he let me pull off all his dead skin off his neck and sides of his face seen his eye squint a little a few time so he was enjoying it.. But he is still the same way he was last night if any other person or anything come within 10 feet of him he tenses right up and hisses they walk away and he put his head back on my chest and relaxes and lets me continue petting him..

i like that he just likes me lol little guardian.. altho i hope with my proper training he will learn to acomidate people that dont halnde him directly are around. oh yeah im am shocked at how powerfull it is it only attacked me the 1 time i tried picking him up he tailed whiped me and turn grabbed him hand leaped and flattend his belly on my arm and dug his nail in and i could not bend his little 2 inch legs had stand there as he chewed on my nuckles and run the bath water over his head till he just let go and jump into the tub water and sat at the bottom on the tub looking at me... now i use gloves<<< he hasnt tried to bit me or tail whipp me since tho he does hiss at me if i try to block him if he is walking off to far. wish i never waited all these years to get a monitor.
