If they are tame and easily handled why do you have gloves on?

I prefer not to get clawed up all day and Yes they have claws. In general, flavis are not biters. Thank you for the stupid question.

All varanids, tame or not, are generally handled with gloves due to their razor sharp claws.. It is BAD HUSBANDRY to trim a varanids claws, which will tear you to slivers when they simply walk across your flesh not even trying to be aggressive.. If you don't want scars or don't wanna wear gloves them a large varanid is not the animal for you.

Also, I'm sure the admins would recommend questions like this be sent direct to the seller or perhaps the boi..

We also recommend letting the seller respond for himself, rather than jumping into an ad with disruptive comments

ok Thanks for the info. I was asking an honest question and was not trying to be a smarta**

No problem russ. I thought you were intentionally trying to be obnoxious. Sorry about that.

How old is the pair? Are they related?

Thank you.

Go look at videos on YouTube of the reptile whisperer. That woman does not wear gloves and neither does her six year old daughter when handling their monitors. I guess skull tattoos don't make you quite as tough as you think.

Chris Smulow if you knew anything about Doug, you'd know he's a vet that's spent more time in combat zones under fire than most. So the next time you want to make sarcastic comments about how tough someone is, maybe you should know who you're speaking about. As for wearing gloves, most of us do because the cuts are annoying and carry a high risk of infection.
For anyone who's actually interested in these animals, I'll happily vouch for them. They're calm, great feeders and beautiful in person. They're well cared for and currently reside in a massive enclosure that allows them to dig, climb and just be monitors. Awesome animals and a great opportunity.
