tens of thousands of Nile Monitors are sold each year, and i imagine one percent make it out of that first year. they sell well because they are super cheap, wholesaling sometimes for all of $5.

they make a terrible choice for a first monitor, and we have a Nile Monitor FAQ available at our site, check the link below.

if you want a large monitor, take a good look at Blackthroats. i think they are the best choice in a large monitor. but not the best overall, that would be the Ackies.

monitor keeping is a great experience, but the first step, choosing the right species, sets the tone for whether it becomes a great experience, or a miserable one : )
