Hello all,
I figured it was time to introduce one of my favorite lizards in the sancuary.
Meet Ripper. She is a 6 foot Nile Monitor female. She came to me approx 4 years ago from a very good couple. They took care of her very well, but were choosing to have a baby. So they asked me if Ripper could stay with me forever. We try to give people the options of where their animals go. And with Ripper being a Nile Monitor she would have to stay with us anyhow due to her size and stature. Ripper is very smart and deceptive. She is definatly not scared of humans and will charge wheneve possible. Whenever she acts up, my husband says "Ripper, you're just like your mother"..lol
Enjoy some pics...
"Mom, where's my food?"

"MMM Yummy chicken livers"


"whatch it, I'm still hungry!"

I hope you guys like her pics
Thanks
Rusty
