Best Monitor

[reptile171]

Who do you think is the king of all monitors? I say the NILE!

[Gregg M]

The king would have to be the Komodo......... But the one that I would have in my house would be Varanus albigularis........Black throat..........

[bear24]

I too like Varanus albigularis. But I like the White throats.

[Big_V]

Id have to say varanus prasinus (green tree monitor). Not huge but look killer.
Cheers,
Ryan

[Jeff_Favelle]

Croc monitor.

REPTILE171:

I would say because of budget a DAYTEK 21" monitor, lol.

But actually I am very partial to Nile Monitors too. Komodos are the kings but not a real pet on any terms, lol.

Cya...

THE CHRIS MONITOR! Its my own new breed, I created it in a lab! They grow to 30 feet, eat 1 rabbit every two weeks, super tame, you can teach them tricks and to be a guard "dog". LOL.:D

I would have to say the ultimate monitor king would be the Komodo but if it was something that people keep, im not too sure.

i'll second the green tree monitor. Definately my most wanted. I'd take a black tree monitor just aswell, but the colour of the green is just fantastic. One day i'll have the cash, and the girlfriend will cave in and allow it!

Definately a komodo!!

[JimmyDavid]

The king of monitors (pet speaking) would be the water monitor because it's the largest and one of the tamest. So waters make a total package combination for everyone who likes an impressive reptile.
The all time king would be Megalania.

[reptiguy123]

Although the chris monitor seems pretty good (however I would reconsider the name:D).
BTW, what is the scientific name for that?

[reptile171]

varanus chris....lol

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

lol, exactly! well actually the full is varanus chrisiden

[NewLineReptile]

NILE all the way

brandon

[B-Rep]

Jobiensis!

Peach-throats are the ideal monitor

[chappy]

Im stuck on 3 either Savannah, Lace or Blue tree

[brandi]

nobody said ackies yet?!!! okay... maybe not the kings, but they are for sure the cutest/sweetest!

[reptiguy123]

Well I guess Chris, Gregg, and I will start our own komodo club! In your face!:)

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

lol, you forgot Tony(BOAS N PYTHONS).

Varanus Salvadorii - Croc Monitor

Beautiful, intelligent, fast and furious.

[BellyDraggers]

I am going to have to say Varanus Salvator - Water Monitor

[reptiguy123]

Oops. Sorry, Tony.:)

[abe anderson]

varanus salvadorii rules in my opinion but im liking that chris monitor lol

[bistrobob85]

I'm in for the water monitor, thought i never had one... not enough room, so i stay with my gentle sav :)

[Katrina]

Dumerils are my favorite, you get the temperment of a water in a much smaller package.

[TNPAuTo]

I work at Pet Lover's Warehouse in Columbia, SC. As many monitors as we have had in, I would say that Black Throat's and Savannah's have the best temperments, and are the easiest to handle. If I had to pick the one I would most likely keep in captivity, it would be either a Croc. Monitor or a group of Acanthurus.

[reptiguy123]

Chris, you have a hard choice: The chris monitor, the huge female savannah, or the purple-tounged alligator monitor!:D

Of course, you could ask Adam. He has a colony of "female I think" monitors!

[lovielover19]

Hi Matt!

[anacondaman]

other than komodo..its gotta be the croc monitor...its just gotta be

[Mr.Lizard]

Varanus salvator,beauty,brains and an impressive build.
In my opinion the only monitor for someone who wants a monitor with all the options.
