Again, I do honestly appreciate the input from you FR and Crocdoc2, and am aware of the difficulties ahead of me if I do take on caring for these monitors. I am simply looking to gather as much information as I possibly can so that I can make the decision if I am ready for the monitors. I am not trying to be arrogant or let my ego get in the way when it comes to this decision. I understand that every reptile is different when it comes to the care and it has been made clear that for monitors this is especially the case. I am not looking to get into these monitors to have something I can handle but something I can observe. I don’t mind the fact that these tend to be your “empty cage” monitors at all actually. I agree with you FR that all that is really required for successful breeding is proper care for the animals themselves. I apologies that you both believe I am only getting into these monitors for breeding purposes, but the fact is I am not and that is just the result I would like to be rewarded with in the end. I cannot say it enough, I understand I have chosen a fairly new monitor and not a great deal is known, but I am ready to learn as much as I can. I, respectfully, would like to make my own choice as to if this species is right for me.

I honestly do hope you both don’t take this as anything bad, I am great full to all your warnings. I know you both have a lot of experience and I do greatly admire your inputs.

Thank you,

Anthony D.
