Blackthroat Monitor

[asphyxia]

I am researching the Blackthroat Monitor, so far I like what I see
however there is not much info about therefor I ask:

How tame can they get?
What size enclosure do they require?
And most importantly what are your comments on this wonderful Lizard

Thanks

I currently own three. They are very calm monitors, they dont dash in your presence.. Mine tend to be a little grumpy when disturbed, but they dont bite.. just make noise and tail whip.. Once i have ahold of them they are fine. (which is amazing considering i rarely hold them)

They eat ALOT throughout their lives, espeacially full grown
i Currently house a pair in a 10x6x6 enclosure, a single blackthroat would require i would say nothing less then an 8 foot x4x4 enclosure.


They are personally my fav monitor by far, and I would highly recommend them.
