I am fascinated by Komodo dragons, also known as the Komodo monitor a large species of lizard.
I don't know much about them. Do they make good pets?
You would need a large enclosure as they are unusually large. I would recommend a smaller lizard as a pet.
Are they dangerous, I have small children in the house. Also what do they eat?
No they eat mostly insects and wouldn't bother your kids. The oldest fossils found date to 3.8 million years ago. They existed with the dinosaurs.
Wow that is very interesting. Anything else I should know about Komodo dragons whilst considering one for a pet?
Just that they are very friendly and can be trained to be walked like a dog. Some locals from Indonesian islands where they are found do this!
Omg that's so cute! I really want one now! 
They are native to Indonesia and Australia so go there if you want to see one!
I'll be buying my plane tickets right away! Anything else about these lizards?
