I took in a 3 foot savannah monitor 6 weeks or so ago. The last few weeks she has been becoming extremely aggressive towards me.I had her eating off tongs and I was able to take care of her cage and soak her without problems until the last few weeks. When I come into the room se starts hissing and puffing up as I approach the enclosure she gets into tail whip position. I have welts on my legs and arm from her striking me when I feed, clean her cage, fill her water dish. She is quite big over 3 feet. I was told now that she is in the proper enclosure etc she is beoming healthier and acting more like a monitor she was very mellow before. The problem is it is getting worse and I dread going in there it hurt like hell and she is so fast she just stands her ground and waits for me to open the door. I have no idea what to do I was hoping somene hee had an adult savannah and had some advice I am pretty small so it really hurts when she comes at me. I m a nervous wreck if she got out someone like my son could get hurt.
Her enclosure is 7x3x3.5. 130 basking cool side in the 80's 16" dirt/sand mix.
