• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

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?
