Here are a few pics of mine, the male would be close to 4' and the female is much smaller.

Is 4' SVL or total length?

Is 4' SVL or total length?

total length, if it was 4' SV it would probably try and eat me :lol: SVL would be approx half that. They are about as big as most of the larger varanids its just they have a short tail.

Can anyone get a pik of them sitting next to one? I want to get a monitor but medium size, not tiny but not a monster either.

cris could you post a pic of your setup? and tech specs?

How long did it take for them to grow to adult size.

Midnightserval - If you are looking for something larger than say a Blackhead or Ackie but not as big as a Lacie or Perentie then your options are really a Spencers or Mertens...

They general have much shorter tails reducing their overall size somewhat...another benefit is that both are amazing animals, hardy, with (generally) a good temperament...
