Hi, I thought I'd share a couple pics of Rosco, my Savannah Monitor. I have had him nearly 4 years. He was 19" long and just over a pound when I got him, and suposedly alittle under a year old, although I dont know if I believe he was that young. He was brought back to the pet store by someone who didnt quite know what they were getting into. Now he is 40" long and about 8 pounds.
He is dog tame and has been to several classrooms to help educate and entertain kids.

Very nice V. exanthematicus, Loren. I've had a few in the past. I always wanted to keep V. albigularis but never got around to it.

They are really not that friendly:p
Beautyful specimen though if you're not afraid and have the room...

Every animal has its own temperment and personality. Even some nile monitors are freindly.

But you'll have to be very lucky;)
In my opinion it changes already if it's a captive bred or wildcaught animal.

Btw, there's nothing wrong with a more agressive species. You just have to know what you're getting :) .
