I just bought a monitor. I never buy unseen, but I broke my own rule and paid for it. I was told it was 3 and 1/2 feet long and tame with a perfect tail. It is 2 feet long, mean and its tail has several breaks. Seriously one of the worst animals I have ever seen. I do not want to say who it is from yet, because I am giving them a chance to make it right. i always buy a 'test" animal before I spend a lot with a new person/dealer. This was only $400, so I guess it's good to know before I drop $2000. I am still hoping they will make it right. I understand that mistakes happen in business, and I am hoping this is a mistake and not a flat out lie. Either way, be careful, when buying.
