Post Body

Hey all, I just got a baby/young Savannah monitor, and really I just wanna know if I should be afraid of the bite? Everyone is telling me it’s horrible but I really wanna get comfortable handling him now so later when he’s bigger he isn’t aggressive

I’ve heard about the venom and the bite force from everyone in my family/friend group but online it really doesn’t seem that bad. Should I really be that scared of it? What’s the worst that could happen?

Thanks in advance for any information to get my scaredy cat ass to handle him more without being so worried lol
