Large well tempered black throat monitor male
 

Hey all - I have a (roughly) 4-5 foot hefty male (confirmed) black throat monitor I am parting with. He is a wonderful guy, and a fantastic eater. He is food trained to come to his feeding door when the side of the enclosure is tapped, and will eat from tongs or a bowl. Loves to soak in his large tub. Very well tempered guy as far as black throats go - if you know anything about the species, you know that they can never really be "dog tame" as some claim. That being said, this guy has a great temperment. He has never opened his mouth or tried to bite at all, and only gives a huff when he wants to be left alone. Occasionally he will give a feeble half-assed tail whip, but that is when you wake him from a slumber. I get him out regularly to clean his cage and soak him in the tub, and he handles and free roams very well - I never have a problem putting him back into his cage. Beautiful animal, full of personality. I also have his large handmade wooden enclosure that I would like to go with him - it comes apart in sections so would not be a problem transporting.

I have to get rid of him because I will be moving out of the country for a year for some veterinary work, and no family or friends want to take my boy.

I would prefer not to ship such a large creature, but would be willing to meet somewhere to exchange. I live an hour outside of Atlanta GA (in Auburn Alabama), so we can figure something out if you are interested.

Make me an offer - for either him or the monitor + enclosure.

Thanks!
