You can’t because someone had the bright idea of make them property of the world! Wich means nobody can own one, wich in turn means a komodo is property of no one i the world, wich in turn makes "property of the world" meaningless. LOL. Get the point? It’s like a rare book inside the glass at a museum... it’s so rare but so old and fragile that nobody is allowed to touch it.. so why keep it??

If given the chance to enter the pet industry (just like another monitor) by now it wouldn’t be endangered at all. Big breeders like Bob Clark would be hatching tons of them. But no..they prefer to keep them at the verge of extintion so they can have rarity or something.

i think it is important to rebuild natural populations first and not satisfy the needs of greedy pet owners.

however many breeders and zoos can get komodos they just have to get proper liscensing and permission from indonesia, they also have to contribute to cbb programs.

some times i wish it was harder for people to get animals even domestic ones seeing how bad the overun shelters are.

Well I have heard of people getting them through the black market and I believe that Indonesia is letting some big time monitor breeders have a go with them. The only problem is that they are still property of Indonesia and so are the babies, so they go back into to the program so more people can breed them. Besides these lizards can kill people they are not good pets and only an idiot would want one. These creatures can bring down deer and wild boar, do you know how hard it is to bring down a wild boar? Well lets just say lions do not bother with boars very often.

Don’t they bring down those large animals just by biting them and allowing the diseases that fester inside their mouths to kill the prey for them? I’m thinking that a captive bred dragon wouldn’t have that luxury. I’m not saying they aren’t dangerous, I just don’t see them as being any more dangerous to an experienced keeper than any of the other monitors that are frequently kept as pets.

I dont see why you would want to take this beautiful creature and confine it in a cage! I mean do you know how big they get?? where would you keep it? And did you know that their saliva can kill you becouse of the bacteria?? not to mention the good bite they have.I bet that would feel just great!
