Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

looking for opinions about smaller monitors
i'm looking to see what some of the smaller monitors avalible out there are and what people think of them . i've just gotten back into reptiles about 8 months ago after an 8 year hiatus . i used to keep mangroves , niles and savannahs but i dont have the space for larger monitors at this time . i'm looking to get another monitor sometime in the near future but i need to get something that can be kept (at adult size) in an encloser no bigger than 4 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft . i've looked at ackies , but would like to know what if any other options there might be . any info or opinions would be greatly appreciated .

There is also the Timor and Storrs-(spelled right?) monitors. They are as small as the Ackies. I see the Timor more often, though it can be a bit more flighty than ackies.

thanks melissa i've looked at timors and am considering one . right now i'm still in the looking and comparing stage . it will probably be a few months before i get one . i am mostly just looking for ideas for now . i'd like to find something in the 35 to 40 inch adult range but i'm not sure if this would be feasable with the space i can allocate for it . any more ideas from anyone are more than welcome .

You could also try black roughnecks or dumerils. They are smaller and tend to be pretty calm.
If you wanted to go with more room, you could go argus/flavi cross. Cool monitors with personality.
Ackies are great but also desert monitors (expensive).
Lots of choices.

i've been looking at timors monitors and i like them alot . i've dealt with niles in the past so the attitude isnt a problem with me . right now i just wanted to know whats out there . we have an argus in the petshop i work at and i love him but i dont think i could accomodate him when he gets full grown . i still got a while before i can get one so i'm just in the planning stage right now .

what i'd really like to get is another mangrove monitor . i had one years ago that was puppy dog tame . i think that right now the timors is what i'm leaning towards . i've got plenty of time to think it over though . i do apreciate all the ideas and am still open to more .
