So I’ve got 3 mangrove monitors I’m trying to figure out if I can cohabitate a younger individual with two older the sizes are 20 inches 34 inches and 36 inches the enclosure is a 6 x5 x3 I’m worried about the size difference if it’s not a good idea I’ll make the smallest one it’s own large enclosure

I would definitely keep the smaller one out.
Sometimes what doesn’t seem like a big difference to us can be a huge difference in attitude and damage from a bite.
Not only that but the enclosure size would be way too small for all of them if a 5’ by 5’ is the minimum recommendation for one, as active as they can be that doesn’t leave much space for individual territory… especially if breeding behavior or male dominance becomes a factor.
