Hi, from the little bit of monitor I can see he/she is looking o.k. Are you sure this is a male?

Not a 100% sure but it has pretty large bulges at the base of its tail so I'm gonna assume those are the hemipenes but in case it turns out to be a female, i'm making sure to provide a few different types of soil, most is just dirt from outside but a small area is from a river near me, I added sand to another area, so it could then lay eggs in soil of its choice. Also the taming is going ok (considering hes a peacock) he finally ate off the tongs, just once though, and I can pet his back while I feed him but thats about it.
