These monitors arent ones weve just had in the shop for sale, but keeped & bred most of them.
& would like to keep one day.

Monitors are tops but are also higher maintanice.

if by sandy you mean varanus goldii which is what i think you mean, that if its even female didnt breed, its simply not big enough, unless you are huge lol, V. Gouldii gorw a good 1.5m, hope your son loves it as i know i would lol  great gift!
edit: have you got any pics of the mertens enclosure from a view you can see the whole thing and what are the measurements

I have a spa, It's a pain to keep maintained so I'm think maybe a few mitchells won't go astray  .

I currently have 1 x Laccie, 2 x Accies, 2 x Gilleni's. Would like to get more but seriously need to work on a food cultivation business first to keep up with their high demands 
That enclosure is awesome, Jason. Good job. Where could I store a tank that size I wonder. Do you think my wife would notice??? :roll: :wink:
