Wont cover what, everything to keep one or what. Im sure that 80$ should be enough to replace and restock things that I need to. Remember im not buying the Tank, Decor, Substrate,ect... Im only responsible to replenish food

Have your parents buy the wood to build you a custom enclosure for it; it will be cheaper than an aquarium. Aquarium-type setups invariably lead to stressed & unhealthy monitors that never get a chance to live as long as they should; you'll also find that the monitor will not be as calm as it could be in an aquarium-type setup.

$80 will definitely be enough to cover your food bill and the occasional replacement of light bulbs & such.

Happy birthday by the way!
 
Nice parents you have there, I had to save up everything I need when I was 13.

I think you will probably want to avoid mixing lizard species; particularly when your subject is the epitome of modern carnivorous lizard.
 
The only lizards that can be mixed with Timors would be other timors. Raise them from babies in the same cage, and they will work out their social structure and get along well. But doing that means more food and a bigger cage.

listen, im a 13 year old kid with intense want for a varanid species and it really doesn't matter to me if I can't even touch and I can only look at it. Thus I was searching for a different species that could live with the Varanid to have so i could see it. I don't HAVE to have another lizard im just wondering if theres another I could get so i'd see it more often. But to clearly answer you question my first choice is the monitor even if I won't see it that much, it is more important to me to have a Timor Monitor Lizard than any other species because I won't have this oppurtinity for another 15 years when I could possibly get like a Croc or water monitor.

Basically I want a monitor too much to get something else.

If your 13, no offense but you in no way, shape, or form should be getting a Monitor. I refuse to even sell to people your age at my shop. Add in the fact that your asking what can be kept with one, which implies you know zero about them, yeah no way I would sell you one.

Just out of interest, from what age on would you sell a reptile to an adolescent?

Depends on the type, Turtles, and common stuff like Beardies I sell to minors with parent approval, but you have to be 18 for anything that I consider possibly dangerous or advanced in care like Caimans, Burms, Monitors, and so on. Most of my Animals are from rescues and so on, so I am not going to put them into the hands of another smuck. I also interview all potential clients, saying you know your stuff isn't enough, I need it demostrated
 
Hey I did my research, im new to this and this is my first lizard and in no way shape or form will I get any other lizard. And I don't care if you won't sell me your monitors because im not going to buy anything from you and your assuming head of yours. And you know I got to start somewhere, if I never get a lizard I'll never have had any experience with reptiles that are harmful to me when im older when i might pursue a career in handling LARGER reptiles that can hurt me. Also I was asking if you could intermix species because it doesn't say anything about it on the internet. What do you mean no-offense, you can't just say im immature and arrogant and then just justify by saying "no offense". You know calm down, you just assumed a whole lot about me and you don't even know me. But you can't blame for not knowing the answer to the question. Oh and by the way im getting a 2ft Timor. I'd never BUY from your store, not after that.
