Hitmonchan is a Savannah monitor located in Wheeling, Ill. He is currently staying with his pals at Friends of Scales Reptile Rescue, who say Hitmonchan is a sweet boy.
"Hitmonchan (was) a very sweet monitor with his original family," the shelter wrote on Petfinder. "Unfortunately, his owner had breast cancer and was unable to care for him any longer. He has had a tough time adjusting to a new home, new routine and new faces. He is nervous and a bit defensive, but with the right owner, he will come out of his shy phase and become the loving monitor he was before."
With that slow easy grin, Hitmonchan might be the pet for you! The shelter does note that he requires a "confident owner" and that he is not great with young children.
To start the adoption process, email the shelter at friendsofscales@gmail.com. There is $50 adoption fee, but isn't his "cool dude" face worth it?
