Ackies, timors, kimberlies, storrs,pygmy mulgars... if you could make it taller then any of the tree monitor species, green blue, black, yellow... BUT the tree monitors are not for beginners really.

Your mostly limited to the dwarf species really but a small colony of ackies would be brilliant in there and make it multi-level say 4 maybe 5 of them.

ackies are usually between £80 and a 120 for juvis

ackies are good at everything except swimming.

For a Timor, you should expect larger than an ackie, say 24-30", there a giant ackie pretty much

You could also look at the freckled monitors, great little monitors, full of character but not really a handlable lizard and prefer to be just left and looked at
