I guess I'm new to monitors, and possibly over excited, but it doesn't change the fact that this is the only reptile I've ever seen that will bond with a human. There may be a few more that come close, and tolerate us, even "like" us. But I refuse to believe there's a reptile out there that is as intelligent and curious as monitors..if I'm wrong, then by all means, school me. Someone tell me I'm wrong. I want to hear it, I'm a reptile noob, but not completely. I watch native reptiles as often as possible, just like any other animal. There's a reason that studies are being done on these guys. Divergent evolution theories, problem solving tests(like with rats, weasels, etc..), that kind of **** doesn't happen spontaneously, it happens for a reason. Smart, curious humans are studying them for a reason. All this should be reason enough for animal lovers to get one..they are FANTASTIC.</p></blockquote><p></p>
