Re: Komodo Dragon as a pet..?

I want to know why you were just letting your monitors hang out on your drive way. Especailly the Komodo. Even if you were a kid I would assume the guy who owned the komodo (If's that's what it really was .. I have high doubts) would be an adult .. and know better than to just let his potentially dangerous animal 'just hang'.

I would assume that a Komodo dragon would require a large exotics license ... Which as far as I know, do not allow the caretaker to remove the animal from off their property - Unless being taken for medical care, or educational purposes.

It was probably something else, but it seemed like one (remember I was a kid and I believed people on what they said cause I didn't recognize all the animals at that time) I think the guy may have been trying to be cool saying it was something 'exotic' which I hate, if you get an animal I don't see it as a symbol of social climbing because it's 'rare' or 'exotic' and people think it's cool and fun. And they both were on lizard leashes, his lizard wasn't full grown yet, around 4ish feet. When I say together, I still mean they are apart, just the same area.

That caretaker would have to remove that lizard from one of the only 35 zoos in the US that have one.

No chance of eggs getting stolen either, since breeding is so rare.
