Yeah. I kind of hope they want to breed. I think that would be pretty cool.That's great. Once I've settled again, I'd love to get an Emerald Tree or an Ackie. Safe to assume you're planning on breeding?

I love water monitor always wanted to get oneOH NO WAY! they are cute looking, but no big lizards ever. I had a friend years ago that worked at the Cleveland Zoo and he had a water monito that he hand raised. Too each there own. No Matter What I know you will give them the best care they require!
Omg water monitor is my dream reptileI love water monitor always wanted to get one
I visit there often.. they do tours and let u chill w the adult waters! They’re amazingAwesome looking & great colors. I don't like to anthropomorphize reptiles but those look like some pretty happy lizards.
I just moved them to their permanent home two days ago. 6x3':Hey @Tom I should have posted long ago to say thanks for the photos and info on how you set these guys up. We had a few through the rescue that were pulled from a hoarding situation and I was able to use your basic setup as a guideline for getting the rescue group comfortable. They did great and I always appreciate your informative posts with PICS! Ha! I'm a visual learner! hope you are well! Melissa
They are more skittish than a large water monitor, but they never try to bite. I pick them up several times a week. Sometimes they just sit in my hand and other times they move.How is their temperament? Do you handle them a lot? Are you supposed to handle them a lot? I’m just curious.
How are they man? Interactive? Are they the bigger monitors in a smaller package?Look at that suspicious eye:

One is a little skittish, but the two other will get on my hand and crawl up my arm. I frequently pick them up, hold them for a few seconds and then put them back in their enclosure. They never try to bite, and they are usually not too squirmy either. Very much like other tame species of monitors as far as behavior. If you like monitors, you will love these.How are they man?
