[grimbeny]

I was just wondering whethert there are any other lizards than the Bearded dragon that really dont mind being handled.

Blue tongues & Shingle backs are usually good handlers.

 

[hornet]

waterdragons? what about sand goannas?

 

[Chrisreptile]

angle heads, mine are awesome handlers

 

[Lucas]

waterdragons are too skittish. Goulds are like any larger monitor, gotta be really careful I've handled some pretty quiet mertins though. Accies can handle ok. Angleheads and Boyds.

 

[Chrisreptile]

my storrs handle well too

blue tongues

i have one of mine sitting on my sholder as i write this

 

[Lucas]

frill necks handle pretty well too.

I actually saw Tim from URS on TV with a very calm perentie in his hands, he was even going to let the presenter hold it.

Some monitors will let you handle them as far as to say they dont claw, bite and crap on you.
There are heaps of skinks and dragons that can become used to handling too.

How about Pygmy Mulga Monitors, anyone had experience with them?

 

[Chrisreptile]

i reckon you could just about get any animal to become handable

My pygmy mulga monitor is a handful to get out of the enclosure but once shes out shes just as good as any bearded to handle. Great little monitors

 

[grimbeny]

So they dont like jump out of ur hands and stuff?

 

[chickenman]

blue tounges are good

 

[FAY]

I have been told that Spencers are one of the most placid of the monitors!!

 

[grimbeny]

Spencers get quite big though dont they

 

[cris]

Spencers get quite big though dont they

Nah my girl doesnt really jump around a heap, she likes to be as high up on u as possible then ends up falling asleep then falling off you
