This is a true male ready to be adopted out for future breeding or just an awesome pet monitor to take out on walks and swimming in near by streams and lakes on a harness of course. Eating small mice, crickets, superworms, cockroaches, and pieces of boiled pork and chicken along with shrimp as well. Never tries to bite but does puff and hiss which is normal for this species of monitor but never vicious or attacking. Must have a nice enclosure with lots of climbing branches and large water tub to soak and bask as well. This is 250.00 shipped to your door via shipyourreptiles.com and is the cheapest and safest shipping out there. pics upon request if i dont get them up before then. Thanks for looking.
