yes this is one of the biggest reptiles we have at my school, this picture was made when we had reptile lessons. We learn how to handle them and what they eat and what they need if you have them as a pet. This is a really mighty animal if you hold them in your arms, and it has a tail that can really hit hard if it don't like you.
