Hey,
My birthday is comming up on the 17th of september and i think my parents are considering either buying a new monitor or helping me out if i wanna buy an expensive one.......I;m kinda considering a croc monitor. I've always wanted one , but never got it because thats a big animal to deal with if its mean but since in that last few years I've been dealing with caimans, alligator snappers, waters and other monitors. retics and blood pythons I think i'm ready. Oh and BTW if yout wondering why I just got here so quick and started posting was because I have decided to focuz myself around pythons and monitors so I've sold out alot of my colubirds, geckos, skinks, boas, etc.....and now i Have space and money. But anywyas my question is........If i got a croc how fast would it grow and how big of a cage would it need full grown (i kno really big) just need a good measurment so when time comes I can build a proper cage.

How fast it grows depends on you. If conditions are right it will grow quickly. It can reach 4 to 6 foot in one year. So that being said dont plan on housing it in a 4x6 cage for to long as the cage should be bigger then the monitors length twice if not three times would be best. The bigger the cage the better. Crocs are not for everyone so do alot of soul searching and researching before getting one.
