In short I’m curious about some of the medium to larger sized monitors and how they are as pets: specifically Asian water monitors, Kimberly rock monitors, Savannah monitors
Would love some recommendations of other monitors aswell :)
Some context: Me and wife and looking to buy a reptile so I’m looking around for the right one. My wife grew up with a green iguana pet and other lizards, we currently now own a bearded dragon and will move out to a big house in about 1 year.
So space won’t necessarily be the issue here, she is good at handling lizards and I’m somewhat a beginner (since the beardie was hers before we moved together). She wants a new lizard aswell as told me i can choose cause she is down for the majority of them. We both want a reptile that we can build a nice big enclosure for, one that is somewhat social and likes being handled / comfortable with human interaction and maybe even cuddly (not a must).
Also, I’m not intending on rushing and getting a monitor any time soon. I’m fully aware of the needs so I will be researching, meeting breeders / going to conventions to talk to various owners, store keeper etc. I would only decide if I’m aware that I can give it the right home and care.
All help is appreciated, thanks in advance. Wish you all a great weekend :)
