Timor Monitors?

I cannot seem to find much on these lizards. Does anyone have a link or the knowledge about these monitors? I'm curious about them because they are another dwarf monitor apparently. Here are some questions I am curious to know:

1. How big do females get?
2. What is the minimum housing for an adult female?
3. Is their temper manageable to handling?
4. What should the temperature and humidity be (day and night)?
5. Do they dig, swim, climb?

Basically a full care sheet would be appreciated. I can hardly find anything on these guys.

 

No problem. 1 Timor Monitor care sheet, comin' up!

They sure are cute lil' fellas!

 

Thanks, do you know how big they get?

 

Timor monitors reach a maximum length of 24 inches. Anything else?

 

Are they somewhat tame or can they be a little aggressive?

 

Well like any herp there is going to be variations in temperament from individual to individual, but yes timors' are very tameable, especially if you get a captive bred and hand-tame from babies.

 

i am a fan of timors but can't seem to find them anywhere. mrj if you find a good breeder let me know.

P.S.
KaMiKaZeE what info can you give me on blue tailed monitors?

 

A place in the US to find timors as well as many other herps:

And a couple pics of the bluetails:

 

something i haven't been able to figure out is what is the difference between tegus and monitors? KaMiKaZeE you seem to be "The Monitor Guy" so any info? i know they look different face wise but the body resembles a savannah's build

 

Tegus don't get that long I believe, but they do get fat or should I say fatter than most monitors.

 

i see. the black and white tegu is a nice looking lizard

 

Well to be honest, I am not aware of any outstanding physical trait that distinguishes all tegus from all monitors, but really its just that they are genetically dissimilar. All monitors belong to the genetic family Varanus, while tegus belong to the family Teiidae. So you could theoretically cross-breed tegus with other tegus, and monitors with other monitors, but not monitors with tegus (without some complex genetic engineering). Thats basically it. I do love tegus too and next year I plan to add Argentine Black and Whites to my herp family.
