Panoptes is my favourite moniter, they look solid as.
How big can they grow?
It would depend on who you ask, but defintely over 6', I have heard that they can get up to 2.5m. I would imagine average size for a male would be a bit over 1.5m. It would also vary between differant localities. V.p.rubidus is also larger according to some.
I found this link, it has some sizes in it and also suggests they are actually V.gouldii rather than V.panoptes (probably correct too), got to love taxonomy.
