I'm going to get a monitor, that's the only thing I'm certain about. I've been looking around and I've had a few different ones catch my eye. And now I'm completely torn on what to get.





What I want:



Peachthroat

Black Tree Monitor

Dumeril's Monitor





I've also been considering a Ionides, but I wanted to hear peoples impressions of these first.



I'm really wanting something somewhat unique and possibly colorful (The Peachthroat fits wonderfully). But I also want something that doesn't get too insanely large (So as much as I've always wanted a Water monitor, those are completely out of the question.) I'm also wanting something that won't turn out to be a typical nile when it's full grown.





Basically, I'm wanting personal impressions of these lizards. The peachthroat is what I really have my eye on, but I hear they're pretty nervous animals: Shaking when picked up, hissing, puffing up, etc.



The Dumeril's is something I wanted just because they seem to be some what rarer as pets.



And the Black Tree is something I wanted just because of how cool they look. Completely different than the typical monitor.





Or feel free to give other suggestions. And yes, I'm researching all of this.
