Two days ago I got my newest addition, a baby Nile Monitor. I have named it Taz because that is a suitable name for both male and female and it is a little devil...lol. I am calling it an it because I have no clue of weather it is a male or female. I was told I won't be able to tell until it is bigger. I will post pictures later or tomorrow.

He is very aggresive when I first reach my hand in the tank but after I pet him for a while, he calms down. When I finally get ahold of him, he is one of the calmest Niles I have ever seen. He won't attemp to bite, scratch, or even whip his tail. I am looking forward to many, many good years with him.

Hi J-Shrad

Welcome to HC!

Ohh, hi but I am not new here. I also have the name Boa but I have no way to access it. Rich told me to re-register and he can transfer my info...lol.

Yeah, hes been a bit nippy lately but what else can you expect from a baby nile. He does however, calm down after I hold him for 1-2 minutes which is always a good sign.
