You don't really see them ever offered. Keep looking. One day, maybe in a few years you'll find them.

You do know that Australia's borders are closed to export so it's REALLY hard to get?

Their super strict import/export laws are such a pain.

Ackies and Kimberly Rock Monitors are increasingly more common.

Squamata concepts is working with some of the dwarf species, so the lizards are out there.

Just don't get your hopes up for a Lacie anytime soon.

And for the record, The Argus monitors commonly sold right now are the V.P.Hornii (Indo) subspecies, not that I would care about that.

If you mean Australian water dragon, surely they're readily available in North America?

The herp laws may be a pain, but they're in place for a reason. I'm okay with them

ReptileSeeker, have you kept other monitors? If not, I'd probably not recommend lace monitors as a first monitor, anyway.

From what I gathered, they're pretty rare here. And I don't think anyone here is saying they're not okay with the laws. I get why they're there. Still a pain in the butt, though.
