Hi Kyle

Have you considered an Argentinian tegu? Not a monitor, but it may suit your wants/needs better than the wild caught Indonesian monitor species on your list. Black and white Argentinian tegus are captive bred (bonus one) and are a little less energetic than a monitor (bonus two). Monitors may occasionally want to sit on your lap on the sofa, but most of the time they'd rather be exploring somewhere else and will act like a toddler that wants to be put down so they can use their own feet. They are also more inclined to be okay with being picked up if they initiate it than when you reach in to grab them.
