From the breeder

Male Asian Water Monitor 26AWM06 This Asian Water Monitor is a beautiful young animal with great coloration, bold spotting, and plenty of that classic monitor attitude. As you can probably tell from the pictures, he is QUICK and very flighty — getting the photos was basically part photoshoot, part cardio. He can be handled , but he isn’t the type that’s going to calmly sit in your lap right out of the gate. He’s alert, energetic, and would benefit from continued consistent handling and socialization to help build his confidence around people. Temperament: Flighty / very quick, but handleable Experience Level: Best suited for someone with monitor or large-lizard experience Potential: With regular, patient interaction, he has plenty of opportunity to become a much more confident and manageable animal. Asian Water Monitors are incredibly intelligent, active reptiles, and working with them is half the fun — but they’re a serious commitment that requires the proper space, husbandry, and time. ✅ Local pickup available in Plaistow, New Hampshire area ✅ Shipping available (expert heat-packed with live arrival guarantee) If you have any questions please email us at newenglandreptile@gmail.com or give us a call at (603)382-2772 We will not ship until we confirm the purchase with you and verify that you are available to receive your order.
