Re: Question about Nile Monitor??
I think the little guy is really cute... I don't know why I'm drawn to him, but I am. But I am also looking at the fact that he won't stay 2 ft for long and soon he'll be eating all my doggies... LOL!!

Re: Question about Nile Monitor??
I too dont think they are "bad,mean,evil or aggrressive" like mnay people seem to think, they are just defensive, they view you as a threat plain and simple.
The hardest part with housing varanids is the cage size. the biggest problem people have with them (from the aniamls standpoint) is using screen tops (losing all heat and humidity) which leads to many varying issues and having a basking spot that is not warm enough. Just a few things to think about if considering "adopting" this niloticus

John, the guy I sold two of my babies to, has been keeping monitors for a long time, so I emailed him a link to this thread hopefully he can help with some expert advice good luck

Re: Question about Nile Monitor??
The Nile monitor is not suited for a vivarium. They mostly stay very wild and agressive.
