Can you make a Nile handleable?
Ok, I have the chance to get a hatchling Nile monitor but the little i've read and heard about these guys is you CANT tame them down? I just wanted to know what ya'lls opinions are about them?

Re: Can you make a Nile handleable?
no monitor is going to be "tame" but it is possible to make any monitor handleable with a lot of patience and work. did you check out that link to the kingsnake thread that we gave you a few days ago?
i honestly would advise you not to get nile without some experience with other varanids under your belt. they get very large and can be very aggressive. they are not a lizard to be underestimated and i would seriously advise you too hold of on getting one until you KNOW you can handle one.

Are you a glutton for punishment? Niles are about the *worst* pet lizard you could possibly have. Even our gila monsters are easier to handle than the nicest Nile I've ever seen.

Point taken. I had a feeling they would be pretty nasty. I sure hate it because they are so beautiful when they become adults. Well on to the croc monitor.

I quite fancy a tree monitor sometime in the future - guess it'll be quite some time in the future though ...

i know a lot you arent fans of reptile maganize, but this months issue is on the emerald tree monitor... very interesting read; and a lot of it applies to all monitors.
