The storrs monitor would be the smallest available monitor. They get ~12". Yellow ridgetails would be second in line at ~18". Mangrove monitors are NOT small monitors. At a minimum, they will reach 4 feet. Many get even larger.

Dwarf monitors are not capable of the disasterous damage that large monitors can inflict. Dwarf monitor teeth are designed to kill insects and small herps. Crocodile monitors have some of the most aggressive slashing teeth of ALL monitors(built to kill and tear apart prey). I have been bit by my male ridgetail. It barely broke skin.
 
Well first off I am new to this site so hey! And I am a very big reptile person and if I'm not mistaken the storrs monitor is the smallest monitor in the world. Varanus storrii. One problem is they are hard to find and very expansive when you do. So i would reccomend a red or yellow ackie...both max out around 12-15 inches and are rather calm in dispostion and are somewhat cheap...usually around 150-250 depending on when and whet and what color you get. But if you dont want to spend that much a smaller monitor would be the timor...I've had a couple of these and they are cool but not nearly as handleable as the ackie they are rather flighty like most tree monitors

Ya untill recently I dint even know they were avaible outside aussi:D But aparently they are gaining popularity
 
Actually guys Varanus Storrii is not the smallest. Varanus Brevicauda is the smallest in the world, however the smallest available in the U.S. is Varanus Gilleni and on Rare occasions Varanus Caudolineatus. Both command a high price tag, much higher than varanus storrii.
