The change in surrounding's and new owner will be the problem....
Most species of goanna are 'switched on'....and dont miss a trick.
It's been said; they are some what like parrots, inregards their intelligence.
They really get to know who you are......
Some of mine will hide if someone different turns up.
Give it sometime to settle.....try spending time working/watching TV etc
in full view of it; without freaking it out. All most ignore the fact it's there....
It will soon get used to seeing you; and will realise your no threat.
Try to keep a reguliar feeding routine (same time, each day);
doing any cage maintainence at the same time....avoid eye contact; sounds strange but works.
Approach the cage with care or without sudden movenment.
After sometime it will get used to you; and you'll find that you can almost get away with a stroke of the hand etc. It's at this point that i will say care should be taken....they are fast and can inflict terriable injuries. They are inderviduials; and should be treated accordingly......with time and patience; you'll at least be able to get quite close; and develope an understanding with it.....good luck.
