Re: 4ft lizards. which is right for me?

Most larger lizards hibernate ... Infact most animals go through a hibernating process

It all depends on your budget and space man shinisaurus are awesome, they only get about 12-14 inches. For me it would be a Shinny, Blue Tegu or a Red Ackie

Croc Monitor.










Just kidding.
Try looking into a black roughneck monitor.
