Despite the sarcasm, Dave has an excellent point. The fate of the majority of monitors is a quick death (yes even the expensive ones), and as we have learnt on this forum, even the "experienced" keepers get it wrong when keeping highly prized species. Once removed from the wild the fate of the monitor counts for nada, i know, but it is unlikely it will be bred to quell the demand for WC..so why should these species be kept? But then you knew all that.

Also, whats wrong with an ackie?
