 Come on people!

it seems that people only want to talk about the big boys, and dwarf monitors come on lets get alittle more politicaly correct, they prefer to be called "Little Lizards"

What is such the big deal with big lizards? I mean they bite harder LOL, cost more to feed and cage. I mean I have handled large lizards before so it’s not like I have never touched one. Read some of the stuff at proexotics (think it’s in ackie FAQ) they say something like "everyone buys a big lizard because they thinks it’s "cooler" when we have owned large lizards and ackies. After owning a large lizard for a while it isn’t any better than owning an ackie."

Also the family odatriad (dwarf monitors) is not made up of "little lizards" varanus bohmei (yellow spot tree monitor) and varanus macraei (Blue tree monitor) commonly reach 4 feet. Savs reach about 3 to 3 1/2 feet on average. And if you are trying to say that a monitor is only a monitor becasue it’s big, than you need to check out Varanus brevicauda (short tailed goanna).

 Come on people!

i apologize i wasn’t trying to affend you i was just stating the obvious, more people are talking about the bigger spices, now you held a big monitor and you thought no big deal i heald a big monitor and fell in love ya i said it love!!! i have also held smaller monitor spices and felt like there was nothing to look forward to the size it is to day is the size it will be the day it dies and that just takes the fun out of it for me, in the same aspect i would not get a full grown bt of sav becouse they are done growing and i didn’t do any of the hard work raising it, i wasn’t under the impression that dwarf monitor meant all monitors in that catagory are small i was making a little thing i like to call a joke (becouse midget people prefer little people, i though it would be funny to use the term "little Lizard" thanks for correcting me now i know that the word dwarf is a sencitive word for everyone and i should not toy with peoples emotions, i am the scum of the earth and i hate myself for have saying that. im such a basturd.

p.s. correct me if im wrong but isn’t the yellow spot tree and the blue tree very thin monitors the term dwarf doesn’t only apply to length it could also mean gurth in this case the sav is a much larger monitor

 Come on people!

I myself love the larger lizards!I would prefer to raise a lizard that gets BIG than a dwarf species.That being said I would love to have an ackie but I would rather have a Savannah,Blackthroat,Water,etc.I never had an Ackie but they can be just like what everyone says,but I still would rather have a larger species!

No you didn’t offend me. But I held large lizards and beleive me I love them, but I also like the small ones to. And yes dwarf does also refer to girth, witch is why some species like peachies aren’t in the odatriad complex.
