Hi every1 this is my first post on here i think joined absolutly ages ago but u were all talking £1000 snake and being a married man my wife wouldnt let me have that much pocket money 
Well iv finally managed to breed Argus which was a major project for me
last year my male ate most of the eggs and the rest were duff, well this year a little older and a little wiser i separated them
heres the proud mum to be
heres the nervous dad wondering how hes gonna make ends meet
And here are the first 4 kids well not quite but eggs
I got 8 good eggs in total  so in 6 months these will be up for sale at £200 each
If ur interested private message me if u would like to know the implications of owning 1 of these amazing monitors check out

hey welcome to the site, not a bad first post
Big congratulations on the eggs, fingers crossed you get them to hatch. How damp are you keeping the vermiculite?

Dont know what percentage the humidity is my mate jay who owns reptile corner and who has bred these for 2 1/2 years but has now sold his breeding pair unfortunatly not to me told me to fill a tub with vermiculite pour in half a litre of water and then drain off the excess water it dosnt get more technical than that out here in the sticks
But he never lost a clutch in two years with this logic and he used to get 2-3 clutches a year i have looked on
www.reptileguru.com which is the most knowledgable site i have found on this monitor but although they tell you some bits on incubation temps etc the do not mention ideal humidity
Any info on ideal humidity will be welcome
I am also looking to buy another adult female so i have a trio and double the productivity 16 eggs every 6 weeks seems very appealing and funnily enough the wife dosnt seem advers to the idea either  what a shock |

Admire your determination to see things through to a successful finish - very well done, in fact awesome   Would love to own such brill beasties, but certainly not got the room 
Oh and not all of us talk about £1K reps., except with green coloured voices ....
