im looking to get one of the following,
a sav or argus, i no the both need about the same size cage when adults, no problem. i heard that savs are more tame then argus is this true, who is a good breeder for both who go the the nabc show in pa, for the sav does anybody breed them that have cbb.

thanks

I would say savs are more calm and laid back than an argus.
Argus are more highstrung and active.
Savs calm down quicker.
Savs eat a good deal, argus eat a great deal.
I believe JCMonitor still has some CB savs and I believe he's sitting on some eggs now.
A CB sav is going to cost a little more than a WC but worth the price. No need to worry about dealing with parasites brought in from Africa.
Just my 2 cents.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

My personal preference is Argus. They are more active so they do more than just lay around. I think they are a lot prettier also. If you want something to handle a lot and take walking on a leash, the Sav may be the better choice. (I have a Lab for that) Definately try to get a CBB one though.

BTW I do not recomend walking a monitor on a leash.

Get the one you like the best after doing a lot of research.
