Interesting... They are getting big fast. How are they with handling?

The larger one is fine with handling, the smaller one would rather bite and tail whip.

That's fine with me, I like monitors that behave like the predators that they are.

That is wierd! Do they "play" and wrestle like other animals? Or playhump like dogs and rats?

They fight, but it's all about dominance, establishing the Alpha.

The little guy woke up with some morning wood
