I dont think they would be any different then any other species to breed except for the size of the enclosure you would need. If you love that species and are keeping them anyways then the money should be not be a factor but if you are trying to cash in on it I think you will end up in the red. I do know the eggs are pretty easy to hatch, I plucked 3 eggs that were being laid from a giant tub of freshly imported adults at a local importers back in the late 80s. The other monitors in that tub were eating the eggs as fast as the big girl was putting them out. I set the eggs up in a deli cup with moist vermiculite and placed the container in the drawer of our water bed where it was 79-80F. From what I recall it was over 200 days but all 3 hatched. It was pretty cool because way back then there wasnt to many people hatching varanids so I was surprised they hatched. Wish I would have kept them but gave them to a friend of mine.
