To each his (or her) own!!!!



Monitors are sold in the "Pet" industry so they are treated as such. Bearded Dragons are lizards too and they are handled, and loved on by their human owners. The common monitor buyer is not educated as to what monitors or and some cases if they do know what they are they dont care. People to do not buy them as wild animals nor see them in that light. They get them as loving pets, or so they believe, and treat them as such, only to find this is an intelligent animals that bites, hisses, tails whips, poops on you, throws up on you, scatches, and requires a lot of time, money, and space for their care. But hey its a cool "pet".



Of all my monitors that I own and have owned only two I've have handled and raised them as pets. So they are handlable but 90% of monitor will never be that way.



The question you ask is not a new one and will be answered but the average monitor buyer will not care nor listen. They will go on their mary way buying and dumping several monitors when they find out they arent cool pets and dont become dog tame.
