Babies are somewhat delicate in my experience. Requiring high humidity plenty of hidespot where they'll get neither too hot or too cold. As its almost certainly an import it will traumatized and need a good deal of acclimational time and patience on your part. I'd thnk you would do better getting a slightly older specimen at least 12-14" still young enough to acclimate more easily yet past the fragile stage thus more apt to survive the whole process.a And yeah! They are totally cool lizards and once they get settled in are great to watch as they cruise the enclosure climbing over everything digging through the substrate for bugs and all. One of my funniest monitor moments was watching a 4' plus roughneck chasing crickets. Animated to say the least!
hope this helps a bit!
Guy
