G'day, i' ve been thinking of getting a moniter but, i don't know where to begin, im a first class license holder and i got a coastal. I'm wondering if you's can help me out abit?
 
yeah i sure am, any idea of how big they get?
 
Go for the pigmy types like Varanus acanthurus
V. storri, V.gilleni all grow no large than 2 feet and are often refered to as the perfect bigginers monitor...
 
Yeah I've got one but don't know how much longer I can keep it as I am running out of cats around here and the neighbours are getting suspicious. :lol:

Anyone here keep Perenties?? :D :p
 
Good advise from marc there.
They are great fun and i think they are top value.
I think everyone should have at least one smalller monitor.
I'm looking at my little red phase Ackie running around his cage now jumping up onto branches than leaping off with his legs spread wide out like he is trying to fly.
From memory there were some Varanus Brevicauda(Short-tailed Pygmy)Only grow to 30cms or so.They were quite expensive though.But there are always ackies and storrs for sale.

Howq big is your Perentie Retic???Awesome animal
 
Sorry Robert, it was a joke but it is an animal I would like if space would ever allow. They are awesome, monitors are my favourite lizards, well next to iguanas a anyway :)
