Well, if you have had water monitors before you should be ready for any other kind. There's no point saying a Nile will be more of a challenge than a Salvator. Perhaps, a salvator could tame down in a shorter period of time, but again it could not. Telling you to be ready for a beast that grows a lot, eats a lot and needs lots of cage space
is really a silly advice when we know you've had a bigger species before.
Just learn along the way, bro. Good luck.

I had to deal with a 5 foot nasty water monitor before that caused its previous owner a couple trips to the hospital to get stitches. It took all my strength just to handle this monitor, and it was then I realized that in order to have a lizard like this you must be 100% dedicated to having this reptile for the next 20 years or more, thats a pretty big decision as most of us dont keep vehicles or jobs longer than 5 years.

Niles aren't nocturnal. Why would you be feeding them at night?

its ok tpo feed them at night not a big deal
as a matter of fact it might even be better to feed younger animals at night because it is the time of the day that is most quiet and peaceful making it easier to get better responses out of your animals and specially if you are trying to "tame" and animals like a nile night time feedings are much better.
when i say nightim im not talking 11am -like 4am lol im talking evenings
