Aw, Stefan, if having scientific debates is such a hassle, then why bother? We all like to be right, its got nothing to do with your love of someone else's animal. Its not like feeding the occasional rodent is somehow saving Savannah monitors everywhere. Not to mention in all the discussions Ive seen you be a part of, its you who gets so very excited about things

As for your comment about all varanids being the same, I dont think you believe that if you stop for a moment. If that were true then you would keep a water monitor in the same habitat as a lacie or a komodo. Its not the same for all monitors, just like its not the same for any other highly varied family of animals. Savannahs are adapted to their environment in a specific way, otherwise that species would be all over the place. They arent though, they are in a very particular location, which we try to mimic with as much precision as possible. Suggesting that someone who knows a lot about one species also knows just as much about a totally different species isnt really very true.
