The cage size sounds good but make sure you have plenty of hides, some dirt and leafs and at least 2/3 basking spots and lots of cover (branches,plants). You only need 1 to 2 females yellow trees if you plan on breeding but no more as the cage would be too small for 4 animals plus can cause stress on the other animals in the cage as even females sometimes don't get along with each other. You should put one thing into considering, that all yellow trees and most other tree monitors are WC and have a hard time adjusting to captivity if not given plenty of hides, you most likely will not see them for a while. If you are talking about putting the blue or green tree in the same cage dont its not a good idea. You should really consider a another species that is CBB first then try with the trees later on so you can get a feel on monitors before jumping to a WC flightly species.

I think that your setup sounds great, the dimensions are ideal. As stated just give lots of ares for climbing and hiding. Get them to good weight and they will take care of the rest. Just remember they do need more humidity that other species, because of where they come from, but that just means you spray more times a day. No big deal. If they act a bit funny at first in their enclosure its normal as they need to adjust to their new surroundings. Make sure you use cork tubes, so they can climb in there.

Take pics too!!!

Oh one important thing, since there is going to be a lot water being sprayed in the enclosure make sure you water proof it, use some FRP or tile board so that the enclosure will last longer........
