Hi.. my foot long savannah monitor keeps randomly attacking me when I try to handle him. He hisses whenever I open his cage and when I hold him he randomly runs away and huffs. Less commonly, he bites me. He has bitten my lip to the point of bleeding. He has bitten my knuckle until it bled. Today, he bit my chest while I had him under my hoodie to try to bond with him. I have had him over a year and he was a terrible baby but as he has gotten bigger he seemed to be getting better. I don't know what to do with him, I have put so much work into his care and handling. Part of me thinks I should sell him because it hurts me when he bites me for no known reason. I know this is a site for tegus but I assume they can have the same problem. I just need help, I'd really like to know if anyone can help or give me advice.
