What a cutie! They start out so little. He looks quite tame for a baby nile monitor.
Do you have a name for this guy/girl?
Not yet my youngest daughter keeps saying his name is pancake. But I’m not sure I want to call him pancake so I’m sill thinking on some good names for him
Think we are going to name him sobek after ancient Egypt god of the Nile river
I recently got the privilege of meeting a yellow headed monitor in person a couple weeks ago. First monitor I have ever been in contact with and he was a puppy dog! He was also a partho (clone of his mother without a male involved. She actually cloned herself)
That’s pretty neat….I think it’s how much time people put into them and you can get them puppy dog tame I know my Savannah monitor he is 3 foot and he is a big puppy dog but when I first got him he was meaner than a snake
I firmly believe that statement can apply to any animal. It obviously applies with yours. Kudos to you, max, for creating a trusting relationship with that sweet animal. I believe you can look forward to many years ahead of companionship with sobek.
That’s a handsome little guy, who’s going to quickly become a handsome big guy! Maybe you can make his middle name Pancake, lol. Kids have some interesting name choices, don’t they?
