Thanks for all the good info. Monitors had crossed my mind and you have effectively talked me out of getting one. Good job!
Are there any other small, easy to care for, not huge enclosure, rodent eating reptiles that are fun to keep?

Ackies or Timors are about the best for starter monitors, they stay relatively small and don't need half a house to themselves.

Posts you mean? And yes I did. For the record I had researched getting a timor or ackie for over a year before I got really into my car and didn't have money to spend. They are not as difficult to keep as you are making them out to be, if you do enough research there should be any issues, plus there are PLENTY of montior forums out there for help. So please don't sit there and impune my ability to know one thing from another.
Thanks.

I know of two real monitor forums and both of them are extremely hard on newbies.
So do you currently or have you ever owned a monitor?

If you've never kept one, how do you have any idea on how difficult they are to keep? What did you base your recommendation to the OP on what species to keep if you have absolutely zero experience with any varanid?
Silly me for ASSuming that someone who would offer to comment on how easy they were to keep had actually succesfully kept one.
