    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have an asian water monitor that unfortunately escaped and was in the wild of my neighborhood for 3 DAYS until he was THANKFULLY found. He was a very tame, easy going lizard at 3.5ft and 2 yrs old. Since I got him back it seems like we are at ground zero again and he is completely wild and agressive. It breaks my heart. I'm thankful to have him back, no complaints there, but I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with this sort of thing or if there's anything special I could do to help him get back to how he was before. Poor guy has lost his confidence and hisses and is terrified of everything :(
Thank you.
 
Amazing that you found him. You are not the first to have this happen with the same monitor species. I have seen this happen alot if you dig through different forums. I hope your water monitor comes back to where he was. Please keep us updated.

How's the monitor? Did he eventually calm down or what?
