hey thanks for the response i respect your oppinion as an expert. I have leared alot hear from those who know these the animals best. In terms of keeping a nile in a 55 gallon tank i wouldnt do that, i would provide it with the most adequite conditions. however the idea of slowing their growth excited me, because yeah, i could keep the animal managable until say i moved out. thats been a concern of mine, but size really doesnt matter to me. it doesnt matter what size it is i still have to take care of it and thats what im concerned with. will i be providing the best care for this animal?that is possible. thats why ive held off from buying one. I wouldnt foolishly buy an animal without learning about it.i did that with my first reptiles, and i learned alot about them afterwards, and have had to adjust their habitat accordingly. luckily they have been fine ( so fine my one guy decided to take off on me yesterday and is loose in the neighborhood )So thats why i came to this forum. ultimately the decission's up to me, and i want to make sure i am making the right decission. I have to start somewhere tho right? you recommend not starting with a nile, but other say its no problem.maybe ill buy an ackie? i will take all of your oppinions to the dealer!! thanks alot man i appreciate it.
Guy
