Paul good luck! I found this website:

I have a good friend who currently owns around 10 monitors of various sizes and species. Your ideas are great for the monitor, they need room and lots of heat. My friend keeps his monitors at 95+ on the hot side and cooler on the other. The website is even more extreme in their temps.

I would suggest your friend does not keep that monitor if they have no room for it. I read the get to about 3 feet in length-60cm, they are on the small side of the scale for monitors. They need to have room to run around, I would figure a 6 foot long tank would be the smallest tank for it when it is full grown.
