Oh yea def they are one of the most hardy species you can start with you need a screen enclosure they like air flow and I put a strong plant in there for climbing like bamboo and strong vines basking temp about 105-110f and ambient temp 85-95f have a life span of about 7-9 years and most are semi docile they do eat ALOT calcium dust 3xs a week as baby's and 1x a week as adult they are very fast growing and very easy to breed on captivity if you took that route I can answer a lot of questions of ya have anymore it also does count to mention they prefer 50-70% humidity they also have to have a UVB sours 10.0 repti-sun is what I use
