Great pic Dave, Truly awesome monitors and my favourite. I bet they look in better in the flesh.

Scott I think the colour you are seeing is old skin ready to shed.

[thomas mcpherson]

unusual color but really nice best of luck for breeding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[testdrivehemi]

Those are some incredible lizards! Good luck..!

[HDH]

Good luck mate! Shame you cant keep the offspring

Perenties aren't one of those monitors you can keep at home in a box, anyway. Way too big and active.


For the earlier poster that asked if these are at that new wildlife place, the answer is yes, these are at Sydney Wildlife World.

Hi Dave,

I understand what you are saying but what is the difference in keeping perenties in a "box" as to keeping varius the same. Varius are very large plus they are also arboreal as well as terrestrial so why is it different for perenties.

Do they have more free roaming range within there territory in the wild compared to varius?

Are varius less active?

[crocdoc]

Yes, V varius is also one that shouldn't be kept in a box (I shamefully do just that), but at least with varius one can make up for lack of floor space by going vertical. V giganteus is an animal of wide open desert so they need a tremendous amount of floor space.

By the photos I would say that they have probably been on red sand at one stage, so it stains the skin and the new skin you can see is more whitish/grey.
