They are more of a look and don't handle Lizard , they need a hot spot of 50-70C and are FAST when heated up , if you want a lizard you can handle I would suggest a bearded dragon , the baby's are fine in a 2 foot tank atm and when adults ( another year or two) they would need a 4 foot tank with alot of climbing height i.e a rock wall etc...I keep 3 adults in a 120cmL X 50cmW x 90cmH enclosure..

There are only two left for sale now $200ea

UPDATE: TWO SOLD, ONE LEFT $200
Some one messaged me with questions but their inbox is full so I am posting the answers here..

Cheers.

Oh ok, so its more of a look animal, but it is possible to handle them its just hard. Is that correct.
(yup , they can be handled but are quite flighty)

How aggresive are they when you try handle them.
(Depends on the animal , I haven't been bitten by one but they can bite , their claws arnt sharp enough to do any damage , unlike larger monitors)
Oh wow really, these guys don't grow very big do they..
(they are one of the smaller monitors)

What kind of tank would you reccommend for a hatchy then.
(2 - 3 foot tank would be fine for the next year or so)
And there setup what would you reccomd for now, and later stages.....
(4 foot tank would be enough room for one or two adults)
Rock walls / rocks branches for climbing will help with how much space they can utilize.
