It honestly doesn't take someone with 16 years of monitor experience to look at the Proexotics link Skiploder posted and realize it's a dangerous animal.

    I've lurked here on and off for several years and have not been interested in posting. I've preferred in the past to stay away from the noob forums, they're disheartening at best because of threads like this one.

    Getting him into the proper sized enclosure is the first thing you must do. This will allow him to thermoregulate properly and help to ease his stress. Next thing is call the vet in the morning, schedule the soonest possible appointment you can.
    Glad to see that you are so astute you're able to diagnose this guy's croc monitor and suggest pumping it full of medications without having ever kept a monitor yourself. Perhaps you should think about isolating medical advice to those animals one has actually kept. And enclosure advice! Win/win.

    Other threads.

    Thanks, better said than I was able to.

    What you're failing to realize is what I said in my first comment in this thread, and what Skiploder said as well. This ain't just about you, pal. When you get hurt, it will reflect badly on keepers as a whole. They are trying to pass laws to outlaw certain types of reptiles, including some monitors which are deemed too large/aggressive for the private sector. I for one like keeping monitors and do so responsibly, and don't want the negative actions of one person to impact responsible keepers as a whole. It's why this has gotten so heated, you are personally participating in jeopardizing my and others' ability to keep monitors.
