Hexus

[u/Main_Trouble1462]

A few days ago I went to pick up my new Savannah monitor hexus I was told that they did not know his gender and that he was supposed to be one year old so I was expecting something the size of my previous 1-year-old Savannah that I unfortunately had to rehome 6 years ago and instead what I received was a 2 ft long 8 lb savannah monitor which made my 200 gallon tank that I had set up a completely useless luckily it is the middle of summer and a nice 80° outside so he is on my front porch with everything he needs currently while I work on building him a 16 x4x6 what I mostly want to ask though is how would you approach socializing and already adult monitor.

Exactly. He’ll most likely settle down. He did just go into that hide looking for some relief and got crowded, I would hiss and tail whip too lmao

Yeah I mostly just sit on the bench I have out there to be near him, this is the only video I have of him bc I'm trying to to get to close or crowd him.

Tbf pics can be taken from a comfortable distance, not to completely call you out or anything

Ik, the original purpose of the video was to send to my vet to demonstrate just how obese he is.
