The detail
The white-throat monitor is a large southern African monitor, close kin of the black-throat, with a pale throat and banded pattern. It needs the same room-sized enclosure and very hot basking, and captive-bred animals can tame well.

What to weigh
A large, strong adult that needs a custom enclosure and a confident keeper. Imports are more defensive than captive-bred animals.
