Hi can someone send me the link to the largest monitor you can get as a pet I am just doing some research to see if I will be able to look after one or not I like the look of monitors and I have seen a few very large ones what are the species of monitors that you can get as pets here?

Salvadori i would say, but even then, its going to cost you a fortune both for the pet itself, and its room sized enclosure, heating it, feeding it.
Not worth doing unless you're a very rich and knowledgable keeper, or a Zoo.

Previous history with monitors? If none, do not even consider a large species of monitor lizard. Dwarfs are fine and even after owning dwarfs for a few year, have a think about whether you can really look after a 10ft lizard to best of it's need as I imagine the bills will be through the roof simply just heating the enclosure, never mind feeding bills which can also cost an arm and leg.

I have been thinking about it and I think the best monitor for me will be a tegu. I wont be getting one any time soon so I will be doing thorough research before getting one x
