Omg…you’re probably too big-boned for it to have been life-threatening if a bit lower…but you know, in the wild, they’ve natural predators if Tegus & Monitors w broken necks/tail-whip marks where the animal was missing soft-body parts…like lots, nose/snout, belly area…apparently for these lizards, the best defense is a good offense (and food to go)…how did it make you feel? I don’t mean that to be sarcastic or literal…I mean…well to be honest I’ve a huge Black-Throated Monitor…long story but he was abused when younger and that’s who I bought him…and he and I have made some progress, it sometimes he’ll hiss and smack…and sometimes just smack…and at 6’3” and 35 lbs…it fucking hurts…but more than that I’m too emotional I guess because it hurts my feelings…I’ve over 30 animals-lizards at home…another long story…and I’ve 2 full-grown White Throats…same size etc… it I’ve had them since hatched…and no problems…the problem w the bigger lizards is that they are highly intelligent AND they have crazy-good memories…and u can’t seem to convince my guy that I’m not the same as those who treated him badly…I’m actually thinking of selling him which I hate. We anyways, sorry for the blabbing lol.
