Okay, honestly this is not for me. My boyfriend really wants a Monitor or Tagus.
He has never owned one before. I am going to be making the cage. and i do not wan him to get an M or T that will get to big, due to the fact that he has never owned one. he keeps looking at Northern Caiman Lizards and i know nothing about them ahah maybe i am even in the wrong sections too. but without him knowing a good first time small M/T then he cannot take time to researching them because he keeps bouncing back and fourth. i want to help him pick one to research on, but honestly, i do not know myself what will be good for him.

a gentlemen at a reptile shop suggested him a Mangrove.
what do you think?

also, if you can tell me when you suggest, or if you suggest one, can you tell me the size cage i would need to make him?
