Oh I believe you about the pain, id rather be bitten anywhere then the tip of a digit.
You know about the nil’s, I don’t really praise them nor do I advise peoples to get one, however I feel it’s a mistake to give them a bad reputation as we often do. Look at any publication sins the early 80s, all are saying the same thing about the nature of these lizards. I am surprised that we still have so little understanding of this specie, its perhaps the best teaching monitor.
Every time someone says they are bad, the myth if passed on again, the new keeper who just got out of the shop with this cute yellow and black baby, will come to this forum to learn more and be totally discouraged by our comments, its hard for someone to like something when every one says negative. Many times these comments lead to a lost of interest, then the monitor pays the high price. However if we talk a little more about the unique nature of this amazing monitor, then a keeper might keep interest long enough for him and the monitor to build a solid relation, a relation that for the most part in long term keepers, very satisfactory.
Ps, can you describe the after bite, Any sequel?
