I had one. He grew fast. I worked in a seafood restaurant outside of Baltimore md. The reason I mention this is because he liked eating crabs. "Cousin teddy" would tear them up. It's kind of funny. He was cool. But I lived a apt under my brothers house. His kids would want to play with him. They were fearless. It just seemed it was time to find him a new home. And I did.

A friend of mine had a nile monitor. Easily, it was over 5' and mean as hell! He used to feed it trout from his pond and ground burger. There's no way you could let it out of the cage, though. It was lightning quick and downright, vicious. He ended up giving it to a local zoo.

Sucks man. 50 years from now losing limbs will be a thing of the past with the latest robotic tech. I skate all the time and all I ever think about is breaking my neck. They soon be able to fix that as well. Breaking my neck and blowing my teeth out are the 2 things constantly on my mind. But then I saw the NHL player and none of them have teeth from all the bare knuckle boxing on the ice so I suppose it aint such a big deal.

I have just brought one today, He has a deformity in his hips and tail. Everything else is fine. The up side is he can run , but not fast, he can not tail whip His eyes are bright and lots of tongue action. He also shows no signs of aggression in anyway. I have an albino iguana with a similar condition and she a star!

In a year he grew from leopard gecko size to four foot. Always Went for my face , the don't just bite. They're like Greyhound Dogs, they tear violently.
