: It's not that they're mean, they're very territorial, like igs and cycluras.
: A cyclura is capable to kill an ig as much as a monitor.
: Also, monitors are carnivores, igs herbivores.

: If you must, you can separate their territories, or have them free-roam at different hours. Igs tend to stay up top, while terrestrial monitors hardly do climb (such as sav's). But mangroves, white-throats, and young waters' can and will.

: Dumerils are extremely docile, and they only get to be 3.5-4.5 feet long. Highly recommended for the novice!

: The warnings about the monitor forum are a bit correct, but they're not that mean, as long as you dont sound like a 12 year old "me too" spoiled child. "Andy" is famous for causing problems, so just ignore his pesky remarks as many do.
: Ask for the link to DANIEL BENNET's Monitors Book.
: It contains good info, or buy for $5 R.D. Barlett's "Monitors & Tegus" @ Amazon.com

: In my own humble opinion, monitors are more "cool" than igs, for their hyper activity, and incredible intelligence, especially the Aussie ones (no offense to fellow ig owners!).

: However, they bite harder, whip harder, and COST A LOT more to feed (bugs, pinkies and rats, not for the squeamish!).

: STUDY STUDY! RESEARCH RESEARCH! Then think about it.

: I would spend those $5 on that small book. It's not too old, and has lotsa good info.

: Good luck!

: : I WAS THINKING ABOUT BUYING A MONITOR FROM THE LOCAL PET SOTRE BUT I FIGURED THEY WERE TO MEAN TO FREE ROAM AND I DONT HAVE A BIG ENOUGH CAGE FROM HIM THE ONE AT THE STORE IS WAY TO SMALL WHAT CAN U TELL ME ABOUT THEM,?????
