They get big...real big, possibly up to 7 feet. I sure hope you didn't buy your monitor on impulse. Most monitors aren't "tame" by any means, more tolerant of people or deemed "handleable". So by saying yours hates you, its more than likely fear turned into aggression....he'll probably never love you like you want him to (that's anthropomorphizing) but with a lot of work he may tolerate being handled occasionally, or a pat on the back..however with the Nile's track record that probably won't be the case. If you want something you can hold, or have out for long periods I'd recommend a dog. Remember, do a lot of research before you buy any pet.

BTW Marshall, glad to hear your ackie is doing wonderfully! Can't wait to see recent pictures.
