I did post a few pictures a while ago, but these are the first pictures I've taken with my new camera.
I have larger pictures than I posted, if anyone wants a closer look, email me at

This monitor was imported as an argus from New Guinea, has not tounge forks as a testament - but it looks very different to me than my other 2 argus monitors, or any argus I've seen. It also acts much differently, and has the name "manson" from it's previous owner. It will shake a dead rat violently for a full 30 seconds, and lunges at food. No matter what I feed it, it stays slimmer than our argus'.
I've been told it can not be a wild cross, unless it or a parent caught a ride on a log from South. Maybe it is just an odd colored argus, but the ocelletta aren't like our other argus - and the tail, in real life, looks just like a woma python!
Here are the pictures - the heat light is a clear white light which helps to show his true color.

So, what do you think DK and others?
