    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....

What are your favorite "pet" monitors?

i think albigularis make the best "big" monitor pets they become almost predictable when you figure out thier personalities. I've had a few over the years and still keep one now that i hatched from one of my breedings.
ive kept:
ackies, red and yellow
pilbaras
whitethroats and blackthroats
australian sand monitors v.gouldi
argus monitors
niles
water monitors
right now i only keep my one male cape whitethroat, lots of red ackies, argus monitors and a pair of iranian sand monitors. argus and whitethroats make cool pets but are demanding overall number one best pet monitor will always be the ackie!
 
I have to say savannahs because its my only monitor but i am currently researching an argus monitor to see if i can house 1 properly
 
very hard to pick just one. i love monitors and i only keep timors so thats what i have to pick but i want to work with tree monitors ackies and argus monitors.
