Hi NATZOO,
I`ll just answer question 3: Yes, the larger species when kept singly, seem to mellow with age (and size), but that must also be simply because they`ve become trusting of the keeper to whatever extent, after a few years, as well as they feel more "confident" they can defend themselves if need be.
I think with a group kept together it would be much more difficult, in part, because if one of the group were nervous, it would probably transfer that onto the rest (at least to some extent).
It sounds from what you`ve said, you just want a single monitor (at least for now)?
I`ve never kept or worked with Mangrove monitors, so can`t offer advise.
Have you considered one of the smaller salvator species/sub species?
V. cumingi is a beautiful looking varanid (though quite expensive), they get to around 1.5 metres (5 feet), total length...
