confused

rowad Aug 08, 2003 06:07 PM

I want to buy a monitor but I'm a bit confused as to which type. I orinally wanted an argus but I was talked out of it because I was told their temperament is not what I'm looking for (even though they are adorable).
I know I don't wna t anything larger then my tegus (whic
h will be 4 feet tops).
Which monitor has the best disposition (likes people) and requires a moderate amount of room (like not an entire room).?

Thanks

However, they are also VERY, nicely sized monitors as well. Theyve got a head similar to an argus/ argus-cross and good temperments. You should check them out.

the gouldi complex crosses are my favorite monitors (that i own, lol). we have a male flavi/argus cross and a goulds/flavi female, lots of fun. of course i am a fan of plain jane argus as well, its the whole complex that does it for me really.

cheers, andrew

They don't dance well anyway Argus are usually hyper. The best monitors with generally good dispositions in the 3-4' range are Savannahs and Dumerils.Dumerils have the best disposition of any monitor I've had in the last 15 years.Unfortunately mine got Cancer and had to be put to sleep
