hey all,
i have had many animals i have had three defferent chameleons and decided untill i get a lot more money to spend on my pets a chemeleon isnt a good idea. i had a small svanah monitor who was taken by mouth rot. and have had a hadgehog for almost two years soon, her name is padme. and currently i have a nile monitor anubus about two and a half feet, little longer maybe but he doesnt want much measuring done more like a good bite of me i plan on never letting him get. and i have a new tegu. shes a year old and the sweetest thing i have ever seen. i hand feed her banana and strawberries cut into sections and mid size rats. and she sleeps with me sometimes. funny to have such a sweet little girl now since i have had my nile for a while and its obvious the thing was never realy cared for only enough to keep its claws sharp for when i got it. well just wanted to say hey everyone.

Niles don't tame. You'll get one person in 100 who says theirs is tame-and i'll bet they are lying too. Welcome.
