Water Loving Lizards

[Zfishies]

Leash I ment so it wouldn't crawl away anywhere while I took him out.

if you get a mangrove make sure you gain it's trust over time IMO it will take a year before he truly calms down
I've read that you can be given the illusion of "taming" when taking an animal and letting it tire out and then being calm, this is usually not hiom being calm but the build up of lactive acid in the muscles which causes cramps

so I would try taming him by just taking baby steps, start with daily maintanence and rub your had on the dirt and such and do notm force him to do anything, you want him to get used to you being there and your smell
then if he starts coming out while doing your spot cleaning then just continue, then if he approches him maybe touch him and jjust keep going farther and farther

I know a guy who did this with his nile and the thing is truly tame
it's like a tegu in some ways

Look for varanus mertensi, most aquatic lizard you can get in the varanus genus

None of the animals you are planing to get are good with leashes or very tamable at all. Mertens monitors which is Varanios sugestion would be the tamest species in the bunch but they are as well a very expensive and hard to get lizard. Also they are as off now, too rare to keep just as a pet, specially a female. I would sugest you reserch deeply to figure out which animal you want and then consentrate on that. But make shure you understand you are getting a mostly hands of animal that is going to need a huge habitat to feal confortable.
