Like any species they vary, usually somewhere from 3 to 5 feet, somewhat heavy bodied (more than peachies or roughnecks). Type in varanus indicus in youtube, theres a guy with a log going down onto his couch from the enclosure with a very large one showing its ability to use its 'semi-prehensile' tail.

No, I think they need something like larger. It depends on the size, but if its on the larger end I would say like....8x8x6 or something. Not sure exactly what the plan is yet, my new house has a green house and a nice large room to the side (like an indoor patio, Idk what they are actually called) . I'm going to check temps and see if they will work for the warmer months. If not he will need to be housed in my bedroom or the basement.

That room on the left side maybe be where his new enclosure goes.
