I strongly recommend you get a savannah (bosc) monitor. After I had a ball python I made the change and I loved it. They are awesome cuddle buddies on the couch, they get big, and are much more prehistoric than a python.

You can start them off in an aquarium but when they get big you are gonna have to have someone make you a cage, or it will shave a couple years off your pet's. Their cages are relatively easy to make something wide/long and low is ok. You got about 3-5 years before he will outgrow the biggest aquarium you can buy.

Bare in mind that the hardcore people on this site detest aquariums, but probably won't hesitate to say its okay when it comes to making a sale.
