Despite its relatively modest size compared to many of its monitor cousins, it is an active, inquisitive, and strikingly marked lizard that makes a genuinely rewarding display animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimor Monitors suit keepers with some prior reptile experience who can provide the height, heat, and enrichment these agile animals need to thrive — a well-set-up, branch-filled vivarium brings out their natural climbing and hunting behaviours beautifully. With regular, calm handling from a young age, many individuals settle into confident, personable pets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Male","offer_id":54783662784849,"sku":"semau-timor-monitor-(1.2-pair-only) - 002","price":1874.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Female","offer_id":54783662817617,"sku":"semau-timor-monitor-(1.2-pair-only) - 003","price":1874.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1077\/6952\/8657\/files\/VARANU_2_312e8e68-abbb-42b1-9905-59ea04c33b27.jpg?v=1788427810","url":"https:\/\/viperiareptiles.co.uk\/products\/semau-timor-monitor","provider":"Viperia Reptiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
