I've been doing research for quite awhile now on monitors and I'm trying to decide which monitor I'd be happiest with. As far as size and looks go, I'm looking for one that'll get about 3-4ft, has that kinda of arrow shaped head (as opposed to the more blunt and bulky head like that of a black throat of a savannah), and that has a medium sized body mass (not super skinny like most tree monitors.) As for as habitat goes for constructing an enclosure, I don't really have a preference, desert, forest, doesn't really matter to me. Now I know monitors can in no way became a "tame" animal, but I would like some recommendations on species that seem to tolerate handling better, like if I just wanted to take him/her out and let them the crawl around me on the couch or whatever and won't be all flighty and what not. some of the species I've takin a bit of an interest in are the peach throat, the mangrove, and the black roughneck. Any information regarding experiences with these guys would be great! And if you have info on another monitor that you think would be good for me then even better! Thanks for any advice!
