smaller monitors?

Savannas don't get big? Check out the picture of mine. He's beastly and he's not even half way done growing.

I agree with Reptech. Green tree's are awsome monitors! My favorite. They don't get as massive as savanna's do and they're pretty to boot!

V. prasinus is probably my most favorite monitor species. They're pretty....pretty expensive when you would compare them to something in the price range of a Timor. Timor ($100) Green Tree ($600+). I don't know if money is an issue for the original poster. I still say go with ackies if this is your first monitor, of course they can be pretty pricey too!

Monitors that stay within 3 feet that are pretty thick, ackies, trees, and any odatriad for that matter fall off theyre all slender animals. Id suggest indicus complex, ie peachthroats etc.... 3 foot body length thick and not as expensive as the australian species. I have a pair of indicus sp for sale, tell your friend if hes interested to let me know, I also have a male peachthroat juvie. These are monitors that I am no longer working with so the price is great.

With the available height though it would be a shame not to use it (on something like a tree, or a roughneck).
