Obviously, most of the people coming to this site would like to learn about monitors. Specifically, the vast majority of people coming to this site would like to learn more about appropriate husbandry and breeding of monitors. Currently, very few people on earth understand how to properly care for and breed monitors.
30 years ago, very few people could breed colubrids and today colubrids make up an ample segment of the global pet industry without impacting wild populations in the slightest.
Breeding monitors could be a far larger industry than it is today, but it will require better equipment and better dissemination of workable knowledge to reach this goal. We need to make it easy enough that anyone who is willing to spend their time appropriately will be able to share in the wonders of successfully breeding monitors in captivity.
We could all argue about who really knows more about lizards, but this won't help further the growth of the science of herpetoculture.
