Sav monitor substraight

[slayer]

I'd also like to add, 5 years of experience with ball pythons/(other non listed lizards) is absolutely nothing in terms of experience most should have before getting these animals.

..........personaly I feel the less experiance one has with the cookie cuter/recipe style of keeping that most follow with many snakes and lizards the better. Those people not really exposed to that style of keeping seem to be more receptive to the concepts and reallitys behind proper monitor husbandry and end up being good keepers.
The more experiance people who step into varanids seem to hold on to their "beliefs" about reptile husbandry with pure dogmatic zeal and tend to give up on monitors rather then admit they have more to learns.

Just my .02
