These are just the big three - I also have a wild type female - will post pics of her later.

Love the first pic mate. Where did you source them if you dont mind me asking and do you have breeding plans for them?

Cheers Guys,

big_boids - I have Sean Parlour to thank for these animals - although the larger animal with the swirl pattern came via Andy (warhammer). Sean and I collected the largest animal in December from Germany. All are Frankfurt line animals.

Andy, - Bruce (the animal that you had) has actually only grown about 6" in length in the last year, but is twice the girth - I think that you'd be seriously impressed with him now.

I am planning (hoping) on reproducing them - all being that the animals conform Shocked

. The female laid three clutches of eggs in 2006, the first were infertile due to lack of copulation, the second was eaten - she regurgitated 8 eggs, the third clutch were infertile, primarily due to lack of suitable nesting sites. she produced clutch sizes of 6, 9 and 8

She has not been together with either of these males before so fingers crossed.

By far my favourite monitor

Beautiful looking animals, but at the risk of sounding like a spoilsport, do you not think those enclosures are a bit small and sparsely furnished for monitors?
