i love reading FR's posts, and i agree with him mostly.

i am wondering if FR has any experience with them (he probably does)

i own a pair and the two have extremely different personalities. my female like FR said is very shy and when ever i see her she darts for cover and doesnt eat in my presents. she is one of the most shy monitors i have ever seen. but my male is hardly ever shy (yes i said hardly). my male will sit on the branches on top of his cage and roam around while you will be watching. he is very cool and will eat out of your hands. i didnt handle mine for about a year, untill the male would climb onto my arm when i would clean their water and cage. i am lucky to have such a male, i now let him go in the bath tub to swim around (is is too big for the cement mixing tray in his cage) and he will jump on you as you walk in the room. only problem is his claws are really sharp and he has actually steped on my ear and pierced it with one of his claws (not bad but it was all the way through), besides that they are very gentile but if you want a monitor for show or to look at yellows are not usually not the ones. they are one of my favorite, they climb, swim, dig, and eat! they are a very colorful monitor.



so to make it short listn to FR and almost every monitor has a different personality. i am not that experienced and was actually pretty stupid when i first started with reptiles. but live and learn.



later!



they can also get out really easily, how they get out some times i have no idea
