Hey everybody,
Good news! The plans are in the works to get my second monitor! We plan on getting him/her on October 27th at the NewYork Reptile Expo. I currently own a Savanna, for those of you that are not familiar, I had alot of problems with her because on my inexperiance with monitors. But most of that has passed, I have learned so much from her I cant even begin to explain it and she is currently growing at a tramendouse rate and will shortly be moved into a very large, permenant home where she can live comphortably. With that said I am looking to get another twards the end of this year. By that time Page will be in her new home and I will have some more room for a new addition. So the research begins! I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a good species for a beginner with some experiance. I am not particularly looking to get another Savanna and Im not looking to spend more than $200 on the animal. One more thing I should say is that Im looking for a monitor that will "tolerate" being handled for soaking, cage cleaning, weighing and such, Im not looking for a lap dog or anything just somthing that wont kill me for cleaning the water dish. One more quick question...should my savanna calm down with age...and appropriate handling? Shes a bit wild and enjoys pretending my fingers are mice.
Sorry for rambling!
