there ARE certainly a fair amount of Monitor lizards that stay under 24" and some even less. Many of them come from Australia and fortunately they are very very strict with their wildlife regulations and laws, but I have no doubt you guys can find something in the 140+ Varanids that will not skeez-out the wives. I have seen grown men cradling 6-7 foot Water Moonitors like they are babies. I would rather have a 6 foot monitor than a 6 INCH Tokay Gecko.....aside from a select few most Monitors can be quite tame with a little effort and TLC......
TLC = Teeth, Lashing and Claws
....no but really, they are chill.
I actually quite like mice, and would probably feel like utter s*it if i knew i'd just caused one to die, quite honestly.
When I was 16, I had a corn snake that I would feed frozen mice; I mistakenly thought they were humanely killed, until I found some with clear finger marks and obvious broken spines, my friend also showed me the frozen rabbits he fed to his python; which had boot prints on their backs. That was it for me, sold the snake and haven't looked "back" (sorry that was a horrific pun).
No predators for me thanks

That's quite an insight. I never thought about this feeder meterial before the way you described. Quite a shocker actually.
yup, i'm sure we only have the slightest suspicions as well; about what really happens behind closed doors
Here peeps check out my nile monitor lizard and his sanctuary.15 ×5×5 all glass roof and waterfall river and pond took almost a year to be monitor ready?
