Buddy & the Old Man

that is a very nice nile monitor is it a male or female???

One pet center sent me a 3' nile with a temper but he went back, and my asian came in. it nice to see all of them are not as pissy.My intrest in them has grown since.
FYI,
They found the holy terror a patient owner. :)

Buddy was a male. I lost him a year ago this month (cardiac tamponade). He was a real gem, and impossible to replace. So I guess this post is like a memorial. This was always my favorite picture.

Sorry to hear that Buddy died, if you don't mined what did he die from ???

His necropsy revealed "cardiac tamponade", where the sack around the heart fills with fluid and constricts heart function, much like congestive heart failure. It seems rare in reptiles, but common in large breed dogs after a severe trauma to the chest. We figure there was a small bleeder in the pericardium, possibly a congenital weakness. He had an annual checkup in January and was perfect. There was no significant event that could be pointed to as the trigger.

once again i am sorry to hear that he died good luck with your others monitors
