The reason you rarely see these large monitor species get as big as they are supposed to is simple, the average keeper does not support them to be able to grow to their normal sizes, also most animal parks and zoos fail at this. Part of this is having proper food, environment, etc.
The definition of a large species of monitor is simple, a species that grows to lengths of 6ft or more.
My female albig is a few inches shy of 7ft and she was hatched in 2001. Its funny to think that both of my dogs are 2.3 to 2.5 times her weight.
