Great video thanks Louise. The youngsters are stunning. The adults are very impressive of course, I just can`t help imagining how amazing the adults would look if they kept the juvenile colouration. Just day dreaming again. Rolling Eyes

Only the dragons found on the island of Komodo have the uniform brown colouration. Those found on Flores do have some variety in colour witheld on their back through maturity, but as you say, nothing like the juveniles. It would be stunning if they kept the whole pattern...but then again wouldn't V. dumerili as well!! Wink
