Is that a savannah monitor?
I like the way monitors eat throwing their food around

Yeah, she's a Sav. It's great fun to watch her hunt and play with her food.
It's really funny how gently she takes food from my hand, sometimes she'll walk away a bit just so she can smash it on the floor properly

How big is she? I have a male and I am afraid to feed it but the wife hand feeds it like theres no tomorrow. THats probably my favorite part is them smashing it
