Too much difference here sir, torts, which we breed some of, are not the same. Althought I agree monitor husbandry trails husbandry of all other major reptile types.
Monitors are basically snakes with legs. But not nearly so refined. That is, they are very much generalist, except for size. Almost all are Obligate carnivores, with the possible exception of one or two species(out of 65 or so) For the sake of this discussion, those two can be omitted as there are not in private hands in the states(maybe two if still alive)
Also, I cannot keep monitors outside on a permanent basis, I can allow them out only in the summer, after that, they are inside. With that said, if we keep control, they produce very well. Thanks FR
