Ornate monitor update

Hi everyone just posting some pics of my ornate. Got him at end of October, he was 15 inches then, did not grow for the first month, then I did some changes as recommended on this forum and he is now 22 inches long. He eats close to his body weight a day. These pics are right after he was done eating. He was basking and let me touch him without tail whipping or biting, just some huffing and puffing before hand.

Good news is I'm buying a new house, will be moving in about a month and a half and will be able to put him in a much larger enclosure ( currently in a 6ft long)

As long as I approach him head on and let him smell me first he allows for short contact.
