Re: Komodo Dragon as a pet..?

As others have stated, it couldn't have been a Komodo dragon. They are endangered and highly protected, plus a bite is almost always fatal. Although they are not technically venomous, they have a slurry of foul bacteria in their mouths that cause rampant infections, sepsis, and death in bite victims. It's a primary means of subduing their prey- they attack and bite it, then track it until it is overcome by the bacteria and dies (usually within a few days). Keeping one as a "pet" would be a death wish.
