Beautiful animal

Awsome animal. It shows what these animals are capable of.
I do understand about knowing what you are doing. I have a growing albig that is no where near people friendly. I have to open the cage door to feed , clean and change water. She has been known to charge when the door is open and it can be a hairy experience, so far it has all been bluff but everyone leaves the room when they see me heading for the door. So far all I have gotten from her are some scratches from moving her for inspection and taking her to the vet. Like you said, know the animal and take it slow.

THAT'S A HUGE B****!!! (in reference to the random yells in Deuce Bigalow when he's out with the tall lady.)

Anyways, could you have a nice tame monitor as a free roamer in your house, like a dog? Because that would be really awesome. I've heard of people having large Cycluras as free roamers, but can monitors also be free roamers?

Awesome pics.

Sure you can. I just hope you don't mind having everything knocked over and broken. My blackthroat got out once when I was at work. I came home to a broken TV, empty shelves and all the house plants dug up and scattered across the livingroom.

Scott, i know that story all too well. My albig use to be quite the escape artist, i'd come home and find a trail of destruction.. then i'd usually find her on the window ledge, haha.

Brock, after following the kingsnake and other monitor forums for a few years I can say that every free roaming 'house monitor' has died an early death. The autopsy results are always a bit different, some obscure internal malfunction, but die they do, nonetheless.

Unless your house is heated and humidified like the monitor's natural habitat, it just isn't going to do as well, long term. When I say early death, I mean 4 to 7 years (I think one made it to 9), which is a short time for an animal that can sometimes live to 30

SCReptiles is now my hero I saw you holding that Cobra in the general discussion forms and now that water monitor. If I owned something that big I'd hold it to but for my sake I don't own something that big. Also I've always wanted a venomous snake but I don't want to read a bunch of care sheets and books about them I'd like to meet a breeder and have them show me how I should properly care for them and handle them etc. untill I find someone who will I stick with the not venomless species of reptiles. But if theres anyone in New York willing to give me a few lessons I'm up for it.
