I didn't say a Ornate and a Nile are the same. I'm saying its just a name. Back in the day (before 1997) they were called Ornate Niles and were a sub species of Varanus niloticus. Now its own species with its own scientific name…. Varanus ornatus.
If someone says Ornate Nile Monitor, you should know that they are NOT talking about the common Nile Monitor (Varanus niloticus), but of the Ornate Monitor (Varanus ornatus) AKA the Ornate NILE Monitor.
Its just a name, a common name. Its OK. Just a common name, no need to get upset or uptight about it LOL
