what kind of monitor? monitors are NOT beginner lizards or even pets... if i were you, i would go for a bearded dragon :gj:

they're adorable, they seem to have personality, they're friendly, and they will probably keep you busy enough :P. well worth it :gj:

i think you mean tegus. to buy a monitor you must first ask yourself if you can handle that huge responsibility. read up on the caging requirements, the feeding, the heating, the taming. it takes a lot of time, energy, patience, and FUNDS

i have been =\ well not for Tegus...not yoet but i have/am reading up on GTPs and tree monitors

a monitor is not the lizard you want to start off with. granted ive had some very nice tempered monitors they are not for first timers and you must have the proper enclosure for them. They need to dig so its going to have to be decently tall in order to have enough room for the bedding as well as be long and wide enough to fit a 4-6 foot lizard.(size all depends on what type you get) These monitors when fed correctly and properly housed can grown like weeds and before you know it youll have a 4 foot monitor on your hands that you wont know what to do with. I would go with a different type of lizard all together. While ive had the pleasure of owning a few monitors and they have been for the most part pretty tame they can do a lot of damage to a person and you dont want to be that person. Bg im sure will chime in and he will probably agree that a monitor isnt something you want to start off with. I personally dont know if I ever own a large monitor again do to moving into a new home where I just dont have the space to house such a large animal.

or mumps :gj:

Just be patient and focus on educating them on the animals you want, and proving you can take care of them. $$$ is a big part of it, and committing the time to care for and clean up after your animals will probably be another. Like everyone else has been saying, I don't think monitors are such a great idea. You want to start small and work your way up to show that you can handle things as they go along. Large reptile collections don't happen overnight (unless you win the lottery ;) ) Don't rush yourself
