Not unless you live in Europe hahahahaha.
Nice monitors though. I used to keep a pair many years ago, never saw them they were always hiding. As soon as I entered the room they would dash for cover, always looked like I had an empty viv apart from plants and logs.
There was a couple of guys breeding these in Europe one was an Austrian chap I can't quite remember his name but I will possibly have his details somewhere. |

As per usual you tend to see more males available for sale than females though !!! |

Thanks for all of the kind words!
They are a great species!
I have 2 European sources now, so I am very hopeful.
I have seen 5 in 10 years here in the States and they were all with me.
Back in the early to late 80's they were pretty common, sold as "Black and White" Timors. LOL
