Komodos
I watched the lizard segment of that dvd...of course Komodos took up a section of this doc---I actually drool over these animals (funny 'cause they basically drool too  ).
I cannot believe how magnificent they are. They showed a zookeeper at a zoo who had one dog tame.
As babies they look like monitors--waters or niles.
I am wondering if the rumors are true here in NY---that someone is actually breeding them in captivity illegally.....? |

seriously Eddie--it's a rumor here.
A friend who breeds fairly large lizards (legally) says it's impossible.
The people who are talking said the komodos have to go for shots every 6 months to take care off the saliva problem.....other then that they are good pets (that need HUGE rooms for an enclosure). I didn't think it true until I saw that dvd---it's more possible to tame a komodo then a nile it seems.

I have never heard of them needing shots, but I too have heard rumors of someone trying to introduce them into the private sector.
I dont believe it though.
There is a paper trail a mile long on just about every one in captivity in the US. If someone flew over there, and smuggled some over, I would believe it.
But I think that would be very difficult to pull off.
And what happens IF they do get them to breed. (which isnt likely)
You cant just go advertising babies for sale on reptile classifieds.
Youd have feds knocking on your door within hours.

And to add to Frags post..
All it would take is a ticked off neighbor or ex etc.. and it would be all over with anyway..
Not likely to find a ticked off neighbor in NY though |

It's true! They are raising them in the sewers and they get 90 feet long and are living off tourists and homeless people.
