varanus gouldii

has anyone ever dealt with or ownd goulds monitors. I'd love to see one or hear some stories. I've been reading up and it seems crazy, but I've ready a few different books saying these guys actually turn their heads and recognize when you call them by name.

Then again I've also read books saying monitors may be deaf to airborn sound so who knows. Either way I'd like to see a monitor that can run that fast and on two feet.

Are tehy closely related to a Flavi monitor in anyway?

this too about the name situation...though it doesn't mention how they're related...just a few words
