Peachthroat monitor
How are peachthroats as to handeling, size, feeding, and breeding? Im gonna get rid of my tokay geckos and maybe get one if I hear what I want to hear..... I know a guy that wants to get rid of his and its just 10 inches without tail and he said he would give it to me for free. I dont want something that gets 8 ft long but 3 - 4 ft is ok.
Thanks

So what if someone just tells you what you want to hear, even though it might not be true? And didnt you say several times you arent getting any more reptiles till your BP is better?

They bite, tail slap and are generally unpleasent. Hard to breed in captivity. Not a good starter monitor.

Even if everything is free it is still going need need a big cage when it gets to be bigger and thats not cheap. Also you were already bitching about vet bills and gas money for your ball python. Why don't you slow down and care for what you have already.

Are you serious? Anyone with this kind of mentality should not own animals of ANY kind...

nguyen - Dont worry, I have already looked them up and they sound nice but id probably keep it as a looking pet like my tokay gecko.
Mark - Im not against building cages and buying anything for anything or doing anything for anything,
second skin - oh wow, I have got a few reptiles for free and non have died on me so u shouldnt worry. Even if it wasnt for free id still probably buy it.
Thanks

First of all, I want to get this snake well....

Did you run this plan by your parents first...?

Love monitors but care sheets under estimate how difficult it can be to care for them. Remember those who write them have experience. For a first monitor I'd go with a Savannah or something of that nature. Not because they're cheap but the are quite hardy, but you'll do what you want either way. About the running it by your parents thing I always did that....when I walked in the door with it
Most kids aren't that lucky though and now that I'm older I realized I should've asked them first. But I hope that second skin guy above was being sarcastic...Seems like it but if he wasn't I'd really like to meet him personally and have a good talk with him, that's some pretty rotten stuff right there. It's like ehh screw it have a baby you'll see what it's like soon enough if it dies so what it was free....
To me I do put reptiles and humans on the same level might be wrong but it's how I feel
