Taming a Lacie is not so silly as it sounds all animals will grow to a stage "with", and I repeat "with" a lot of respect and gentle handling NO fast movement, will tame down, but no matter what you think and this is where some get into trouble (they are still wild animals and should be treated with the utmost repect at all times) understanding movement, jestures, and don't touch me signs is what its all about building a trust between you and a respect. I don't thing anyone here thinks a whistle and it will come running is what its all about, just being able to handle the animal to look for signs of problem is tame enough.

Intresting stuff, I suppose if you handled them alot from a hatchling they would atleast be trustworthy not to take your fingers off, as you said, I suppose you get to 'know' the animal'.
Do you keep monitors Robert? Please post us some pics of anything you keep?
welcome too!
