So, Wayne, do you like monitors? :P

I agree, they are very cool and what I believe to be the most intelligent reptile.

I bet he eats whatever he wants.

The bio mechanics of Varanidae is optimized for maximum forward thrust, climbing & swimming, one of natures most perfect machines. They have distinctive hands and feet with the Prehensility of a primate, almost an equivalent cognitive function (they think and problem solve) and come with a built in turbo charger for oxygen delivery providing endurance. That should qualify for world's coolest.

I laughed good at "Bye bye bunny" in Wayne's second video.

Learn something new every day! or at least today I did lol

I would definitely consider keeping one of those but my quick research has shown me its not likely to happen

Very very rare and extremely hard to keep alive

If you find me one for sale within pick-up distance or shippable to MA then I'll make it happen.. but I'm not having any luck finding anything..

I personally would never buy one. They're amazing animals but they die very easy in captivity. Someone in Europe has been able to keep his alive on a diet of Pure White Tree Frogs, but no one else has been able to keep theirs alive, as far as I know. If you did buy one, you'd pretty much be paying for a snake that's almost certain to arrive dead, or die shortly after arriving.

This is also a valid point.. For the record I would not make an impulse decision as I may have made it seem like I would..

One can dream though! Would be a very cool guy to have in a collection considering the rarity.. not to mention it looks like a rat snake and an alligator made some regretful decisions one night

I wasn't saying that you would, I'm just saying that you'll probably be paying a LOT of money to buy a very very fragile snake, that arrives dead 50% of the time. And the whole rat snake and alligator comment... That's gold! LOL!
