    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have owned Argus monitors in the past and have has pretty good results with them. But I never kept one long enough to see it grows up and thrive as an adult or breed them. I breed other monitors such as savannahs and Timor monitors, and have also worked with waters,Niles,and mangroves. The Argus that I am going to be getting is a large female she is a proven breeder. I was wondering what your guys say on this species is I know how there temperament can be and how it usually is I have been bitten by big monitors before, so that is not a problem.

Now for the housing, I have a moderate amount of room to give her, I will either be keeping her in my garage or my screen porch or out side for a few more mouths until the summer comes along, I live in central Florida.
I was thinking about making a cage 6 ft long by 4 ft deep by 4 ft high if it is going to go in the screen porch or garage. But if It is going to be house out side I am going to make a 8 ft long by 6 ft deep by 6 ft high. Since I plan to give her a mate and a new girl soon after getting her. What is your guys/gals suggestion on this one?
Thanks Nick
 
Theyre nicer than niles and can be tamed better than niles except for some that are total jerks. Like any monitor theyre a lot of work but Ive known some that like to go shopping with their owners on a leash.

woooow that is odd I have never! seen a Argus leash trained but have seen allot of other monitors that will allow you to drag them around. And yes I am aware of the time and money they need.
