He's got a 3 1/2-4ft argus monitor he caught out in the parking lot. Well i have her now (I think it's a girl). I'm currently looking for a good home for her. Sure this is cool but at the same time.....not good for the natural environment!

I'd be a bitch too if I was a pet someone no longer wanted so they threw me away, like a piece of trash. I am not saying that it deffinitly happend that way for all I know she could have the nicest owners ever out there looking for her, but a majority of the time people love to dump their reptiles all because they did not put much thought into it before they had bought it, and did not do there research. I hope all works out, and for shits and giggles can you find out the shipping cost from there to 03801, as of right now I do not have a job but am probably going to get one soon, if everything goes good I will take her and set her up in a temp cage, or try and find someone who can hold onto her until I can get a perfect incloser set up. that is of course if you would want to ship her/him Back to top ElliotJasChief Respected Member Joined: Apr 23, 2005 Posts: 312 Location: Phoenix AZ Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2005 7:53 pm    Post subject: wow - thats a nice looking monitor - I'd bet it was bought by someone who didn't know how big it got. *sigh* There needs to be a test you have to pass to buy anything larger than a bearded dragon _________________ Elliot 1.2.0 blues 1.0.0 red 0.2.0 family ...and way too many fish Back to top DeadIrishD Honored Member Joined: Jun 07, 2005 Posts: 265 Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2005 8:24 pm    Post subject: I'm not saying this would be right, but I can picture if someone bought to many anoles, and dumped them down in Florida because lets be honest theres a good chance, that they will surviveeasy down there, compared to most lizards, but a lizard with the intelligence of a tegu, or monitor that makes me Back to top VARNYARD Banned Joined: May 16, 2005 Posts: 1164 Location: panamacity florida Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2005 1:05 am    Post subject: MONITOR I live in panama city florida, I would be glad to give her a good home.

I took her to some friends at Underground Reptiles. They will probably resell her but atleast she will find a good home where she is wanted. I wish I could have kept her! She ended up being real calm and I let her climb all over me!
