	Savannah Monitors
		Despite that fact, monitors listed as "threatened" are being exported from their counties of origin and shipped to different parts of the world to satisfy the lust for the new--it sometimes seems that beginning lizard owners either start with an iguana, a bearded dragon, or with a monitor.
		The Savannah monitors in captivity tend to be larger than their wild counterparts, due to food being more regularly available: no forced fasting from lack of available prey during the prolonged dry periods, periods that can last from 3-6 months, depending on where the lizard is originally from.
		Monitors can escape from more than their enclosures; when transporting them, they must be just as secure as they are in their enclosure.

	Guidelines Monitors
		Large monitor lizards can, if handled inappropriately, inflict serious injuries as a result of scratches by their well-developed claws and in some circumstances as a result of bites inflicted by their powerful jaws.
		As a rule, savannah monitors grow moderately large (3 1/2 feet to 5 feet, occasionally larger depending on subspecies or country of origin), adapt well to captivity and, when raised from young animals and regularly handled, tend to become quite tame.
		Nonetheless Asian water monitors are one of the most intelligent of the lizards and this feature along with their large size and tendency toward docility make them very popular among fanciers of large monitors.

		Monitor lizards are not poisonous, however some species possess toxins in their saliva which can lead to rapid infections and septic conditions.
		While it is unlikely that a smaller pet monitor lizard could kill a human, their bite can lead to prolonged problems if not treated and kept clean.
		While there is no doubt that the lizards did not kill their owner (he passed from natural causes), this incident shows that they are instinctive animals and will go after anything that smells like food.

		Monitors are not tame, they need to learn to trust you.
		If the monitor associates you with the bringing of food, he will be more likely to come over and check you out.
		Another approach is letting the monitor roam in a small, enclosed area, and sitting still in there with him.
