Hello, I purchased this monitor at the Columbus reptile expo today. It was advertised as a Nile, however I am not quite sure this is accurate. I question it because A.) It seems to have a more docile attitude, it hissed and of course tried the old tail swipe, but never offered to strike and yes, it was warm, not cold and sluggish. And B.) This monitor does not have typical Nile (or water) striping/spotting along its side. As you can see in the pic it stops half way down. Also, the pic doesnt show it, but the pale areas of it's side, feet and throat have a blue hue. You can somewhat see this on it's left front foot, again, pics aren't picking it up. Any ideas of what species? No idea on age, it is about 30 inches nose to tail tip. (Missing tip of tail). Any help appreciated. Thanks! Please note, i can not figure out how to post a picture. Text me at 330-429-1735, i will send back photos, or can someone point me the way to posting pics?
