They are pretty cool monitors. As long as you provide the correct conditions they should be fine. Ambient humidity about 50-60, and temps 100+ in the basking spot, with ambient temps of 75-85.
If I were you I would save up a little and buy a yellow Ackie monitor. They make a much nicer pet. You really shouldn't handle a timor as they get frightened easily, but ackies adjust to humans wel.
