Whats the largest reptile you can own in Australia-Python/monitor

[Skelhorn]

Recently I have been seeing quite a few monitors for sale. They look amazing, something different to snakes and I am enjoying looking at pictures of them.

Anyways I know that in Australia one of the largest pythons (is there any larger ones) that you can own (legally) is the scrub python (some record upto 18 feet (commonly around 13-16 usually???).

But what is the largest monitor that you can own (legally). Also what are some common lizards/monitors that are good pets and easy to maintain (I have owned beardies before).

Check your schedule list but some states can keep V. giganteus.... Don't really get any bigger than that in Australia
