Yea, I have heard that too.

Unfortunately, they aren't rumors. Monitors are already illegal in some states because of a: how big they get, and b: the recent discovery of their possesion of venom.

I already cannot obtain a Nile because of NY law.

Need to hurry up and get two more BIG enclosures built, I really want a Spencer Monitor and an Argus.

There are some baby Timors for sale on KS right now too.

**millertime89** · 02-09-12, 02:39 PM

all this monitor talk makes me want one more and more.

BarelyBreathing · 02-09-12, 02:42 PM

Get one!

I will warn you, snakes will seem just a little less interesting once you go Varanus.

I wish you wouldn't have posted that. I want one now.

There is black tree monitors on KS right now.

and some baby Argus

Gungirl · 02-10-12, 09:37 AM

Hrmm... I think I want yet another animal. Big surprise.. lol

Wayne.. when will you be ready to take on either of those?

Because Argus monitors get so big, The only way Dorothy will agree to us having one, is when I complete the 10 foot by 12 foot Monitor room in the basement.

I could get a baby Argus and use the cage I have for about 18 months, but she has her heart set on another SAV, and I am not about to break it (Again)

The black tree monitor, I would prefer to have an 8 foot tall 8x8x8 enclosure, and then get a pair.

jarich · 02-10-12, 10:25 AM

A pair of blacks would be awesome!

I kind of agree with the bigger monitors being permit restricted. Not that it makes much difference. Not a week goes by that I dont see some boob trying to sell his nile monitor on CL

Thanks, but as much as I want one (or any monitor for that matter) I just don't have the money, space, time or experience for one.

Yea, permit restricted would be good to an EXTENT. There's someone trying to sell a nile on my CL too

I think Niles get a bad rap.. Some people have great experiences with them, and others wind up with ferocious beasts.

The whole "lap dog pet" mentality needs to change.

I don't even handle my snakes that much to be honest, That's why people think I'm nuts for having such affection for "mean" snakes. They give a great incentive to resist handling.

I love niles, but too many people go into pet shops and see this cute little nile and get it not knowing how big they get. I guarantee you that's why they show up on CL so much.
