Hi everyone,
I'm considering getting a medium (kinda) sized monitor lizard. I have experience with other big reptiles but this would be my first monitor (I know many recommend the ackie as a first monitor, but I really don't like it)
The types of monitor that I'm considering are:
I like the first two more in looks, but I have read that Dumerils are rarely bitey and that is a plus.
Is there any main difference in temperament between the Argus and the Yellow headed? Which one is more trainable/intelligent? Which one can enjoy more handling or is more easily tamed? Is the Argus more feisty?
My favorite is the Argus but I want to contrast these 3 monitors before I make my final decision.
Thank you!!
