Actually your posts and its intent are very naive. No Croc monitors are not monsters, we know that. They are actually shy retiring creatures. But that really is not the point. Is it.



Yes, there are some here(and everywhere) that try to make Croc monitors out as killers, well they are not killers, or are they???? They are not, at least intentionally. But then, intentions have very little to do with it. not with monitors or humans.



I have a little experience with them, I have bred and hatched a few. But I will no longer breed them because of people like you.



Statistics do not follow logic or behavior, they simply are statistics. With that said, more keepers have made visits to the hospital and have had severe local damage from croc bites then any other reptile, except true crocs. But pound or kilo, per pound or kilo, the croc monitors still wins that contest. And there are very few Croc monitors around, compared to other larger monitors.



Simply put, they have weapons, and will eventually use them, either on purpose or by accident. Yes the result will still be the same.



Back to are they killers or not. No, except if you allow a male to reach ten foot, then yes. Imagine your croc monitor at ten foot. Then entertain the thought, of it biting you, clapping down, and jerking back and forth(bull dogging). Guess what, monitors do that.



Now, what are you really teaching these kids?????????? And who is the fool????? Frank
