Keeping reptiles is merely practice for being kept by monitors. 100% of all people who inquire about Savannah or nile monitors do so because either thats all they are aware of or because they are cheap. For the most part the cost of a monitor is immaterial compared to the time and caging required for them to thrive. Instead of a nile you would be better served with a water monitor Varanus salvator or a black throat or white throat monitor instead of a Savannah. We have had monitos for over 25 years green tree monitors they have bred also. Leashes are not good for monitors. If you want something that will be an excellent TV watching buddy go with Argentine red tegus or Argentine Black and white tegus. I know one red tegu that once it was 2 feet long NEVER spent another day in a cage!
