Cheers

| | SUPERMAN | Join Date: Sep-07 Location: Rockhampton Gender: | | | | hi Luke,
great to hear that you are going to get a monitor, i have ackies, sandys, blackheads (varanus tristas) and mertens, just remember that although they dont grow at a great rate each has a different type of enclosure, i see that you were thinking of a sand monitor - have you thought about a spencers they are very nice looking but they have an excellent temperament - although sand monitors if gotten young can be quite good they are not as even tempered as a spencers,

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Oct-07 Location: Sydney NSW Gender: | | | varinidae: cool...i wish i had enought money ...thats why im saving  !!! yea, gotta love the sandies ...i would like to but here in NSW they are class two, if i could i would get every monitor, they are just so cool! yea, ive heard they are a bit flighty, the guy down at canberra exotics (i went there specially) said he had a good one, but when it had enough, it would latch onto him until it was at it enslosure!!! i thought that was cinda cute!
what do you think of black head, i can't find much info on them....kind of bugs me abit!
cheers,
Luke

I hope they change it, Im pretty sure a decent sized sand is more dangerous than a lacy or spencers on class and sandys are on class one  |
