i dont know how old he is hes about two feet long. hes in a 55 gallon for now with a large dog dish for water a hide cave and about 3-4" deep of forest bed so he can root around. it usually stays around 85-87 in the cage and his basking spot is in the 90s. im not sure about humidity its pretty humid though. probably like 60%

My buddy had an Argus monitor, and it used to love to slice and dice him with the claws. Was a very active animal, used to have to use Kevlar gloves with him. The monitor used to walk on his hind legs and use his tail to stabilize. Thye are very agressive at times, specially when it feeding time.
