Most monitor lizards are reproductive at about 2/3rds of their adult full length average, that is, they have active ova and sperm on road-killed specimens etc. It’s hard to say in Savannah monitors as they are so uncommonly bred.

What does "full grown" mean?

If properly cared for they should be ready to go in 18 months, give or take 6 months.

According to Daniel Bennet they are sexually mature at 10 inches TL.

I think it may have been a typo and he may have meant 10 inches SVL. Remember that in the wild most Boscs do not get anywhere near as big as captives, I think I remember seeing something like 20-24" being a common adult size.

I’d say in captivity 24" TL would be a good "starting" size for breeding. But I am not an expert, I’m not even very experienced with monitor lizards, only have a little under 2 years under my belt.

If it’s the real deal mating will be very frequent over the next week or two. By frequent, I mean constantly!
