Please think about this, in nature they are not handcuffed or duct taped to eachother. Pairs or trios, can see seen sitting together at times, near each other at other times, or completely separate at still other times. When apart they can still be in touch by scent trails. They seem to know where there mate is. Also some species stay in tight groups, others not so tight. Even within the same species or area. Take pyros they occur near me. They can be found up to 8 or 9 thousand feet maybe higher. In the exact same mountain range, they are also found at 4200 feet in grasslands. Same species, within a couple miles in the same range and totally different set of environmental conditions and behavior.
I mention A or Z, well that's what your doing, only the other way. You can't be that exacting, wait, you can be, IF YOU WANT. Or not. What I hope people realize is, that keeping with no choices is not how they live. Live being the key word. Being alive and living are two different things. In captivity, give them as much of a life as we as individuals can, not take everything they do away from them(because we can) Then say, I love this or that species. About several males, can be done, what after a while its too much fun to bare. hahahahahahaha With varanids, males bond like crazy, become best friends, or if they do not know the other male, kill it dead and in a hurry. In my field work, we find males sitting with eachother all the time, commonly and no fighting what so ever.
