Thank you very much.

I definitely am planning on putting alot more research into it before I take the dive. I don't know that I ever will own a monitor, just something I like the idea of right now. I'm a pretty impulsive person but I also have alot of self control. And not alot of money, so that helps. lol

I am glad to hear that they're not an animal that should be held terribly often. I have a good number of animals already, and it just wouldn't be wise to get animals that need alot of attention in a linear sense. Needing attention is fine, my snakes cages get cleaned frequently and whatnot, but that's something I can do like 1 cage today, 1 tomorrow. I don't have to sit down and spend several hours at one time doing it. Not usually anyway... If I had to take my pet out of it's cage every day, especially a pet that can't meow or bark at me... That would be a problem. Thus the reason I don't own a ferret and my kitty headbutts me when she wants to be petted.
