Well it becomes a moral issue for you, I cant advise you on personal choices. But hear this! Many years ago when I started keeping varanids, I had exactly 40 cages witch housed only cobras, they where my real passion before the ban. Anyway my first monitor was a nil, then I got all kinds of fancy species and this nil became my garbage can, he was as close as what could be called neglected (a trash can)



You have to know iv never kept them as pets, its all about study for me, I love species not individuals, so I kept my garbage can many years without even seeing the poor thing, then one day I realised, this was my most trusted and friendly monitor, wow how can this be? Iv never invested any time nor have I been nice to it in any particular way? Without realising it iv provided this monitor with food, shelter, tranquility and most of all respect, in return it trusted me, this no value almost disposable creature has become my friend, one I wouldn’t change a parenty for, not even a truck load of them. This animal has tot me more then all others, it surly tot me theirs no such thing as a cheep monitor.



So if you love that savannah, it’s the most valuable monitor you own.

Who am I to say otherwise?
