too old to buy and tame?

if i were to buy a monitor at 1.5 years old, will i be able to "tame" it or will it be set in its ways? is that too old of an age to buy one at?

or does it all depend on the monitor? if so, lets say a water monitor or an ackie.

thanks!

I would say it depends upon how it was initially kept and raised.

You chain a dog, even the most popular, outgoing and friendly breed, outside for the first two years of its life with little human interaction, it's likely to be depressed, aggressive and unpredictable.

Seems to me the same would apply with an intelligent, cognitive lizard. Look at its history.

monitors my learn to tolerate interaction, but they do not "tame" without abuse. People do many disgusting actions to tire a lizard into being manageable but the concept of them ever being a puppy is absurd.

Succinctly and accurately stated, Gary. The goal should be developing trust, not "taming".
