So I was thinking of getting either a nile or a black throat what do you guys and gals recommend?
Niles are certainly not larger than a black throat.I have read a lot on both species and Niles tend to be more aggressive and are bigger and they both do eat A LOT! But out of the two I would would personally chose a black throated monitor. Because they tend to if handled right and associated with right will tame down a lot over time.... but if you have no big lizard experience then neither will be good but if.you don't and still want a monitor lizard then try a Savannah monitor..... they get a decent size and have almost the same care requirements as the black throated monitors..... good luck..
