    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

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.

:iagree:

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