I was just wondering what the best species of monitor is under the following terms:

1. The "pet" aspect, handling, not eating anyone(haha)
2. ease of care
3. attractiveness

I'm just interested, thanks

Easy care- they are small (16-30inches). All are captive bred (they are Aussie so its a guarrantee). They eat alot less than larger species. And can be found for $90-200 for yellows, and around $300 or more for reds. They are active, great attitudes from every one Ive ever met, and can live off of insects.
Although personal preference is the best way to pick a monitor.
