Adding to collection

[Concept9]

Sooooo, I have been thinks a lot lately of expanding my collection and adding a lizard.

I would like something with varied diet, gets a little boring feeding JUST rats to snakes day in and day out.

So I thinking about going with a Monitor Lizard, I don't want something that gets REALLY big. I would like something that is about two feet and under.

I have been looking at the green tree and black tree monitors.

EDIT: Skip the Tree monitors, I just noticed the prices. LOL

Any suggestions ?

Dwarf australian species

Ackies (obviously)

Kimberly Rocks (my number one suggestion but a bit pricier)

The tree's can be a bit skittish, kimberly's make great displays and you can interact with them a bit easier as well.

Pygmy mulga (even pricier than kimberlys lol)

And on the more skittish side (possible empty cage syndrome)

similis
timor
tristis
and orientalis

Well I just saw your edit , after typing out mine so I'll change the color of the more affordable species lol They are in red.

The jeweled lacertas I keep eat a varied diet and they are pretty active. My male is about 2ft they are also brilliantly coloured.

I second the ackie vote: For size, personality, and activity there exists nothing like them. If you want a lizard you can handle I would stay away from the tree monitors, they are more shy and hands-off then some of the other monitors.
