Watched one of mine giving birth today and got a few more females almost ready to drop...I think they are a very underrated species. They are easy to care for not having the high heat or UV requirements that dragon or monitor species have (I give mine both btw). They eat basic stuff such as dog food, fruit & vegetables etc. They are easily handled, grow a decent size and they give birth to live young. They are SOOOO SIMPLE that they deserve more recognition IMO!!!
On top of that they have great variation from locality to locality, and alot of potential for morph/hybridising experiments with the Albino and Hyper types
