Does anyone have any care info for them? I am planning on purchasing one for my herpetologist buddy up north, but I will have to take care of it for a few months before I bring it up there. So I need some care sheets, google has failed me. I know where they are from, I'm not sure whether this individual is c/b or w/c, but it was purchased from Ben Siegel. It comes with its enclosure and other neccessities, so if anyone could direct me to a nice care sheet or something that would be great!

I would love a pair of Similis, but I have no room/money for one right now. They are awesome looking monitors!

From all the info I found, everything just leads me to the Timors' caresheets. I do believe one site even went so far as to say they are the same species at one point in time.

That one Similus that I found for sale was GORGEOUS! He was very healthy, well, fat, is what I should say, lol. Oh well, when I move into a house and have a job that actually pays up front/bi-monthly, I'm fairly certain that I'll be buying a breeding pair.

Theese guys are very aggressive, i think they are a lil over rated, nothing really too special about them, they are very similar to timors, and they are typically aggressive, and they bite extremely hard, ive been biten by the 2 i had. 99.9% of the are WC adults, babies are rare
