[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 135991, member: 27883"] You are a glutton for punishment! Nile monitor??? Columbian gold tegu??? I wouldn't take either for free! The Gila monsters are fantastic animals though. Great pets although they can be a bit inactive at times. My Argentine tegus lived outside and they stayed a bit more saucy. They had very strong feeding responses when they'd wake up in spring time and I had to enter with caution. They have a giant gaping mouth when they smell food and they are coming at you! My Savannas were never all that tame either. Many stayed hissy, although they never tried to bit or whip. Some of my water monitors were truly dog tame and I would even go swimming with them when there was no chlorine in the pool. They'd go down to the bottom and park there, and it would look like a big alligator at the bottom of the pool. Sometimes they'd stay down there for 30-40 minutes. I had one that liked to go in the pool overflow when it was smaller. It kept trying to do this as it got larger and I found it funny to see its head and tail sticking out of the overflow slot while its ever-growing big body filled up the available space. There are some amazing and wonderful animals out there in the world. [/QUOTE]
