well done, i love lace monitors seen them in Australia - awesome lizards, very impressive. the banded form that you find in the drier parts of Queensland and NSW are also very nice

Hi lovely monitors and great display viv
I wish i could own some my self but very pricey and hard to get hold of, There's some on kingsnake.com for $15,000 the trio which is a good price for lace monitors.

PS Good luck with the baby's

Thanks, all. In answer to some of the questions, the enclosure is 2.4 x 2.4 x 1.2 metres. It's a single enclosure with a partition in the middle, which was in place when the photo was taken because I had a spare male at the time (dark animal on the left hand side). I now just have the pair (right hand side in the photo) and separate them only when the female is getting ready to lay eggs.

As far as 'temperament' goes, it depends on who you ask and how they're treated. Many keepers I know think they are nasty and aggressive, I think they're great animals but you have to be extremely patient for the first year or so. The ones I've raised so far have been very calm adults.
