There are several species that get above 3 foot long and are considered a medium species.
Savannah
White throat
Dumeril
Blue tail
Yellow
Argus
Mertens
Roughneck
Mangrove

All of the above average between 3 - 4 foot but be warned that 5 specimens are out there.

On average white throats average between 3 to four foot fully grown. But no it's not uncommon for a varanid to break the mold size wise. Black throats on the other generally are 5-6 foot with proper care.

If you are looking for a baby, you could wait until late February into March and get a baby fresh from the farm.
Pick one that looks well hydrated and in over all good health. Bright eyes and active.

As of now there's isn't anyone I know who has eggs cooking for either species.
So take your pick of the classified for a farm hatched animal.

Pictures honestly don't mean a thing. There are tricks to making a monitor look good for sale so just go with top sellers. Check the BOI and /or ask.
