Great care sheets, but it's missing some of the more common lizards. I'd like to see a black and white tegu care sheet. Also I'd like to see savannah monitors and water dragon care sheets on here. I think in general, having more monitors on here would be a cool idea. They're awesome animals and not uncommon in the hobby. Overall, very good quality care sheets though.

A caresheet on Savannah (Bosc's) monitors would be extremely useful.
