What do you mean by "not your type of monitor"? Why would you accept it from a friend if you had no interest in the particular species?

I really wish you had done your homework and researched this species before aquiring it. Then you would have known that it was "not your type of monitor". The monitor wouldve been better off than being traded/sold from one person to another.

The funny thing is that no matter how many times i see this, it still bothers me but i guess thats my problem for caring.

Look, i won't waste anymore of your time and im sure you have your own reasons that justify this sort of thing for YOU but its something i'll probably never understand.

I understand your prespective,but seems to me he made an attempt at keeping an unwanted monitor to begin with. At this point in time he relizes its not for him and is making an attempt to find it a good home. I see alot of folks who get rid of their monitors so they can concetrate on a another species, for breeding purposes or curiosity. This is not bad provided one finds individuals who are motivated in the animals care. If it frees up ones time to better care for ones existing critters, wheres the harm. It could be argued that keeping an unwanted animal, may cause a stress/burden that affects ones existing critters. Better to only bite off as much as you can chew, but in reality, this is not how it is, don't flame him to hard. Clint

Hmm, sounds interesting. How much do you want for him? And does he bite, or is he somewhat calm?

i was looking for 125 and he has his moments where he will bite and when he will be cool,just depends on his moods really.
