Torah, some monitors will take to handling better than others, like pythons. Ackies are generally a little more amendable to handling than alot of other species. My Gouldii did the same thing though when being transferred, it also showed little fear about being moved, though once it got a chance to warm up, it kicked into gear! What i'm saying is that if you try to handle the monitor now, it will probably play out a little differently, as now it is settled a bit more and fully alert of it's new surroundings. Don't be fooled! And make sure you remain patient with it, as it is well worth it in the end.
