One of the biologists mentioned seeing a monitor leap from a tree 20 feed up before, and hit the ground on all four feet running.... I don't doubt it.

Thanks .
He mostly gets roaches, chicks, and gerbils with the occasional mouse, fish, grasshoppers, worms, shrimp, snails, rat, etc.

I'll have to get a side-on photo. He has a bit of a dangly belly- it doesn't touch the ground, but is a little bear-guttish .

Re: New Photos of my big guy
I bought Toothless a mouse today as a treat, and decided to toss the empty box in there for him to mess around with. Kept him occupied for about 20 minutes .
Last ToL measurement (semi-accurate) was an inch over 3 feet. He's definately slowing down quite a bit.

My reaction as well  . I wasn't quite sure how he'd react, but he ran right up to the box and stuck his head in. He then started tossing it up into the air. It's over on the other side of the enclosure now. lol
I also made a 'chick trail' all around his enclosure and hid a dead chick . It was interesting to see him follow the trail all around the enclosure before finding it.

haha great stuff 
I do trails aswell, with mice, usually when I dont have time to feed directly, definitly a good way to enrich their environment

I admit I was a bit nervous . Holding such a powerful animal is really something special (I was also thinking 'please don't bite me' as well ).
The enclosure is 5 feet high just to give some perspective of his length.

Re: New Photos of my big guy
He`s looking great, and I`m guessing he`s (roughly) around 7 or 8 feet long?? (I`m hopeless with figures)....
