First off your full growen Ball can live in any medium to large vision cages. 2nd I suggest you do as much research on monitors as possible and then when you think you've done enough, do some more!!! Ackies, timors, sav. are the norm for novice. They all need a cage around 6X4X5 if not bigger. The bigger the better.
The need about 3 to 4 ft of dirt to borrow. lots of hides and things to climb on. For lighting its all about surf temp.
so you are going to need to purchase a temp gun. for sav its a basking spot around 125 to 150. Monitors requir lots of heat, fresh water, dirt and food. You'll have to spend about 1hr 30m a day taking care. About Food "about $30.00 a week if you are going to purchase food at a pet store. and that is when there babies. As for size is cage and food is done right you'll have a 3ft monitor in the 1st year "sav". They do most of their growing in the first 2 years. I suggest you get a bearded dragon first. This just a quick FYI, Please add to this anybody if i missed anything.
