Had my first clutch of lace monitors from last season hatch this week. All eight babies are out of the egg and perfect. I'll get more photographs up when I can.

First one out:

David they are truly beautiful. You are very lucky to work with that species.

[Rogue628]

Wow! They're really pretty! Congrats! If I'm not mistaken aren't these kind of hard to breed in captivity or do I have them confused with another monitor (not savs)?

Congrats either way! :D

[crocdoc]

Thanks guys. Rogue628, they're not overly difficult to breed as long as you nail nesting (which applies to most monitors, anyway).

[brylecc1989]

Wow some really beautiful examples.

[millertime89]

I'm really jealous Dave, wish we could get these beautiful monitors over here.
