Posted by: MOHAWK02 at Mon Apr 3 13:09:05 2006 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by MOHAWK02 ] I am not sure of when the keeping of reptiles began, or how ancient you mean. Do not forget, along with no electricity, shipping was not what it is today. I would think that zoo's were probably one of the earliest keepers of monitor's. The second question is easier to answer. Nile monitors apparently like to snack on crocodile eggs, so it is believed that the presence of the monitor may indicate that a crocodile is near by also. Some say that is where the name "monitor" originates. I am sure that some of the other members know more about the hobbies origin. | ||
