Hey,
i really love Mertens Water Monitors and i am thinking of getting a pair once i get my new outdoor avairy set up.
but i like to hold, handle and pat all my pets and reptiles (not just put them on show)
and was wondering if anyone has one or has had encounters with one, and could tell me if they get tame and are holdable etc or (being a preditory animal) it isnt as tameble as say a python or somthing.
and also, do they swim alot? or just 'sit' in water? cause im planning a fairly large 'pond' for the bottom (in diameter not depth) for them too.
cheers
p.s. any other usfull facts or hints/tips etc would be good to thanks
