My opinion stands as is, no offense taken. If you cant donate your time to ANY animal/reptile than you dont need one, a nile monitor takes no more time than caring for a child, i will ALWAYS recommend them for a beginner. Pitbulls are agressive, would someone not recommend them to someone? No, pitbulls are wonderful dogs but just have a bad rep, just like nile monitors. No disrespect to you as well, and please do keep in mind Melody these are my OPINIONS, such is your opinion above, we all have different ones.![]()
