Re: Timor monitor questions
It might help to have you tell us what made you decide on a Timor. We're there specific things you read about them that appealed to you? Was it something as simple as size or appearance? What is it you really want out of keeping this animal? Also things like how large an area do you have for an enclosure? What is your experience level? This will help us with a suggestion that fits you better.

It wasthe size and appearance, I really want just to have a active monitor that can be taken out and handled on a regular basis like 1-2 times a week maybe more. I want to be able to take it on a walk thats just something id want to try if i got a monitor iv always just wanted to see peoples faces. Iv only kept a bearded dragon that i have now but im good at paying attention and i usually write down or save all the info i get and read over alot. I know quite a bit about savannah monitors iv wrote down acouple care sheets and read over them alot.

I find no pleasure nor humour in trespassing.
Sorry, usually I catch people mud bogging in my frog sanctuaries. So it's rather nasty when it happens.

Alright well i know people who have acouple acers that is private too so there is no need to just up and say i shouldnt have one just for that reason... it would be cool to take it out and show people who wouldnt want to show a monitor that they would raise from a baby to a adult lizard... it would be like showing off your little baby.. also i wouldnt take it out if i knew it wasnt tame around people its just common sense...

the only reason i dont think you should get one is because you seem to change you mind about what you want every week.. no offense.. but monitors aren't exactally easy to care for and they require lots of attention.. You also need to understand that you have to lug a huge tank with you everywhere you move to.. and be able to support this monitor when you get out on your own (away from parents house). you wont be able to depend on them forever to take care of it and they are expensive to feed..

I was going to say same thing lol. From what you mentioned in your post a monitor is not the choice If you need something to take out and play with.Unless your wanting to learn how to properly care for any monitors i would suggest not to get one.
