4 x 4 x 4 is way to small for an active species like an argus. I also don't know much about their temperament. Some people have had great luck taming them, while others say that they're very timid. 8 x 6 x 6 is a much more appropriate size. A close second for me is the black dragon (thank you, u/SalvDad for your quality dragon videos)! they are beautiful lizards, and often time remind me of people when they throw an intelligent look. My favorite is the crocodile monitor, mostly for their temperament, but I also love their face shape, I think they look a lot like Komodos! Assessment of young kittens is likely of limited value if the kittens are still progressing through the primary socialization period, and the assessment of the parents may provide just as much information.

I'm not sure what you have against ackies (I think they're great starter monitors), but if you're dead set on a large monitor perhaps you should think about gouldii or spenceri, as some people have mentioned.Experienced keepers will only be considered. You'll want a pretty good grip on filtering systems suitable for large volumes of water. Not only do you have to deal with the massive amount of space required by all large monitors, there's the whole aquatic side as well. Mertens monitors are great animals but require a very specialised setup. That's the reason you've seen perenties being offered at such varying prices - not many people keep or breed them, so theoretically they should be holding their price, but the flip side is that not many people can keep them so it's an easily flooded market. Unless you own your own home, live in suitable habitat and can house them outside, chances are you're going to be up against it trying to house them as adults. The second reason is the housing requirements, as they need a lot of floor space with specific heat and humidity requirements. The first reason is (and this also applies to lace monitors) the danger of getting bitten badly by misreading behaviour. I would not recommend a perentie for a first time monitor keeper for a number of reasons. I never worry about claws with my monitors - gloves deal with that easily. The claws are nothing compared to a good bite.
