need help deciding on a monitor

Hello, i am currently in a bind atm on what type of monitor i should get. I currently live around the tampa bay area of florida (pasco county) and have searched around and did some homework on the monitors i can buy from pet shops. due to what i have found is not good. the monitors ( mostly savanahs) are being held in tiny tanks and not being fed well. so i decided unless i drive to a respected pet shop or breeder in tampa bay to buy a monitor i will have to order one. The main problem is that i dont know what to choose. I have experience with decently sized iguana's (4ft+) and bearded dragons. im looking for a monitor that i can raise and keep for a while (decent life spand) and call my own. Im asking for your idea's on what kind of monitor i should get and about how much they'll cost around. looking for baby's i can tame. so i can start at the beggining. Caging and accesories will be no problem for me. so let me know what i should get.

Thanks,
Have a great day

Don't you need a ROC permit for a monitor in Florida?

i've read about it. the permit is mostly for pythons. the only monitor that i have found that needs a permit is the Nile Monitor.... sad because i was kinda looking into a ornate nile. but i guess ima go with something else.

You only need the permit for giant pythons(retics and burms, and african rocks) and for nile monitors. It's not hard to get the permit if you want to get the nile.
I like the tegus if you want something tame. I have a blackthroat, and not one blackthroat I've come across is "tame". They are "handle-able".
