Re: What is your fav monitor?
"..an excerpt from a Monitor forum post at kingsnake.com by Rob Carmichael of The Wildlife Discovery Center-
The Croc monitor poses, in my opinion, more cause for concern (when compared to other easily obtained monitors) due to their behavior. We experienced this first hand at my facility. Two years ago, one of my animal keepers was giving our croc monitor (a YOUNG male at only 7') it's daily warm shower. He took his eyes off the lizard for a split moment and the croc must have seen some fingers moving around on the spray nozzle. He came over and just nipped and let go in a millisecond. I heard a blood curdling scream and ran over only to see blood splattered on the glass, the floor, everywhere. This little nip just about severed off one of the fingers of my staff. He went through 4 hours of intensive surgery and has a very nice scar to this day and has never regained fully feeling and mobility in that finger. Just something to think about before making a mistake."
I am going to have to ask Rob about that incident and who it was.

Re: What is your fav monitor?
Yea Ive seen that before and I think everyone considering any monitor should take it into consideration.

Re: What is your fav monitor?
I could only name my LEAST favorite and tha would be a Nile Monitor.
Why least favorite? We had a 5+ foot specimen given to us a number of years ago as a rescue and it tore into a pair of expensive heavy insulated winter coveralls I was wearing. Ripped a big chunk out of the leg. Had I not been loading it into a duffle bag to take it to it’s new owner I would have had roast Nile for dinner.

I'm guessing you've never seen a Komodo dragon in real life. If you had, you'd never say that. Even without CITES prohibitions, there's no way it should be legal for the public to buy them anyway, as they'd all just end up in cruelly undersized enclosures. These things get massive, several times the weight of the largest salvators I've ever seen or heard of.
