I've been preparing to get a monitor around 3-4 feet for a while now and i'm interested in the Quince and the Dumeril's. I find the Quince to be a very attractive looking monitor, it appears very dragon-like. But I've heard Quince Monitors typically are not quite as friendly as Dumeril's. I would also like to get a male Quince but that seems to be unlikely to happen considering no one can tell the difference between males and females. Finally I originally intended on getting a Dumeril's, the Dumeril's seems to have a reputation for being rather more likely to become tame than the Quince and I can get a male when hatchlings become available next spring but I find the Quince to be a nicer looking monitor. So what do you guys think I should do, what is your opinion?
It would actually be really helpful if some one could tell me where I could get a male quince, because despite the fact that they don't have a very good reputation for becoming social-able pets, I would actually not mind if the lizard never tamed down. I've had a Peacock for almost a year now and I've been working to tame him but he really doesn't like me but i'm cool with that. So I could take some lip from a Quince as well.
