Great thread this, one of the few threads on RFUK that doesn't containing hurlings of abuse, but I do have a problem; who keeps quoting posts with 5/6 pictures? :@

Anyone reccomend me some good books for looking into monitors? Not specific species.

There's a book called "Monitors and Tegu's" by barrons books or "Giant Lizard's" by Robert George Sprackland

I'm very excited because when I get home from work today I will be the proud owner of a young Asian Water Monitor! I mentioned on here earlier that I liked them and the OH must of seen it! The camara is already charging to get the pics up and I took some pics last night of our 3 boscs and B+W Tegu, so when I'm back at work tomorrow I can get posting!

I've heard that young water monitors grow at around 3 inches per month, so best get started on making him/her their own room as apparantly s/he's already 2 foot from nose to tail tip! The previous owner is scared of him/her which is why their getting rid, so they might be exagerating about the size, but will have to wait until I get home tonight to find out. Tim is working on a viv at the moment based on the fact that s/he will be 2 foot in length.
