hey guys ive been doing alot of digging around for a monitor and tegus i really like them and would love to have one. With that being said ive NEVER owned any thing bigger then a bearded dragon. my biggest question is,from the exp of people who own them what is the best starting medium lizard? i really love the look of the blue tegus and my wife is really liking the savanna monitor. ive read alot saying the sav monitor are mostly wild cought,and ahve a huge perisite load and that is consrning when i have ball pythons that carry some value.so would paresites affect balls? i havent done much on the tegus is there a reliable place to find info? i also saw in the december reptile mag that ackie monitors are realy "easy" to handle and maiantain.would they be a better monitor to look into for someone green with med lizards?
so thanks guy in advance
