they stay pretty small for a monitor. not too easy to handle. almost all monitors (or herps for that matte) that are imported will have parasites. monitors are notorious for this. if you are in the market for a monitor, i would only recommend buying a cbb specimen. unless the seller is willing to pay for a vet check up.

Most of what this place has is cbb but im not buying just learning right now

From memory Timors are definitely one of the least social monitors in terms of human/reptile interaction.

If you are after a larger monitor that is known to be really tame, the asian water monitors are fantastic animals to own.

All I know about the ones your referring to is they don't like to be touched, kinda like GTPs.
