My Nile monitor has grown but not big big i think its a female

A nice specimen but it will get big and have a nasty bite!!

Thanks Derrick, I never heard of it before,

I will agree on it growing big, maybe too big to handle. Where will you keep it once its grown?

Yikes!!

It has bite me lots of times but its not too big to worry about .I dont think its going to be to big maybe 4 feet tops .Males get bigger 5 half feet the largest is 7 feet .They dont all tame and can give a mean bite .They also spend lots of time in water so keeping water clean is a pain .This is a picture of Nobby the Nile monitor off some forum.Thanks Kata Clive

Sounds like a UN employee sent to keep an eye on the forthcoming Egyptian civil war . . .
