Well, its not about my senses, hahahahahahaha and thats a good thing. Its about you and your abilities.



When you mention a 100 of these and a 100 of those, then it boils down to taking a chance, thats why I suggested you find someone willing to sell one that behaves the way you want. If you want to take a chance, then have at it. What happens if you get a mean or nasty dum's? Then what?



Also theres more to keeping a monitor then how tame they get. Theres more important things, like, how much work, how often do you "have" to clean cages, etc. Also water type montiors are a ton and a half of work. And niles and dums are both water type monitors. Of course you can always choose not to give them what they are designed for, thats your choice.



What keeps me interested in monitors is their activities. For me its about keeping monitors that are fun and educational. Species that do things and do them in front of you. Species that may include you, not exclude you. To me, they need to be fun(and not too much work)



Many here are in the mindset to give burrowing type monitors a cage they can burrow in. Or tree type monitors, something to climb. Along the same vein water type monitors should be allowed water or bogs/swamps(dum's) to live in.



I would rather you be saying something like, I really got to have a, so and so, I cannot live without one/bunch, can someone tell me why I should not have one/million of them, hahahahahahahaha. Good luck with your choice.
