roaming monitors

[Guest]

anyone know of any monitors that are a good choice to let roam around the house when they get big enough? and can tame down fairly well.well they have to be able to be tamed to roam around the house.lol anywho, let me know what you think.

As child I had a grandfather that owned a motel in Florida. He would bring me Anoles sea horses ect .. Once he brought me a foot long alligator. He lived the summers outside in an old gold fish pond .. Winters we would let him live in the basement .. Water was left dripping in the shower for him and he had free range . He got to be over four feet long [all the gater any one needs ] . No one seamed to tell him he needed heat or special light He wondered about at room temperature .. He ate chicken that you threw to him . My mother messed with his water one day and scalded him he went down hill from there ... I think the best lizard to roam the house would be a tortoise...

iv always wanted a gator but i dont think they can be tamed down enough to let roam around the house let alone have one.
