I love them -they have attitude. GD was 5 and all she wanted for Christmas was a REAL lizard-so of course my son got her 2- they were Savannah Monitors named Sliz and Liz.The were longer than GD was tall but they rode on her shoulders tails dragging and their head was above hers.Well Sliz and Liz now reside at the Toledo Zoo.They got quite large and when CJ started college she donated them.They are both lovable and kids visiting get to hold them.They were always lap sitters
