She's not in it for the size of the monitor. She just loves the way it looks. With the long skinny neck. heh She thinks it's very dragonesque. She knows the time that goes into taking care of a large herp. My Boa is just under 10 feet and I have to change his water daily, clean out his substrate and generaly make sure that he is a happy camper. She would preffer something a tad smaller. No longer than about 4 feet fully grown. (That does include the tail) ANd something that won't be quite as agressive as the nile, the she knows that she will need to have daily contact with it to keep it as docile as possible.
